Bad GPMC timings can cause corruption on the smsc fifo, which can
cause random oopses especially with nfsroot.

I was seeing that on my zoom3 with nfsroot with bad muxing for GPMC
until we applied bce492c0 (ARM: OMAP2+: UART: Fix incorrect population of
default uart pads). That's easy to test by leaving out GPMC.

Yes and that should be left running for a few weeks on a group of
devices to verify things work once you think you have all the issues
fixed.
