Please let me know your comments on this. I am proceeding as you
have suggested; beagle board, omap3evm had been made to configure
in Kernel at runtime [1] and provision has been given in gpmc
driver to cry loud if no configuration in Kernel [2]

Updating feature-removal-schedule.txt will be done as part of
another series (yet to be posted, that series depends on gpmc
driver conversion series [3], needs to know Tony's comments on
driver series first and if fine, it will be posted). Right now
it won't make sense to post a patch on feature-removal as first
all boards that depend on bootloader has to modified to make use
of driver interface. So patch on feature-removal-schedule.txt
will be posted along with migration of remaining boards to use
driver interface.

And this patch is necessary for gpmc driver conversion [3] to proceed.

Afzal
