Hi Kevin,

This series attempts to remove all the runtime cpu_is* checking in
omap_hwmod.c in favor of using function pointers initialized at init
time.

This series was motivated by the addition of support for the AM335x
series which was done by adding several more cpu_is* checks, and
provided the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

In addition to the cleanup, this provides a much cleaner way of adding
additional SoC support since it no longer requires adding additional
runtime cpu_is* checks.

Boot tested on OMAP3530/Overo and OMAP4430/Panda.

Thanks Kevin, this series should bridge the gap nicely between the current
code, and the point in time that we're able to move these functions into
PRM/CM device driver code.  And allow us to avoid adding more cpu_is_*()
when we merge Vaibhav's hwmod changes.

As you've probably seen, the patches have been updated here.  The function
pointers have been made file-static rather than per-hwmod; this should
conserve some memory and cache.  Since they don't change on a per-hwmod
basis, this should be safe.  Also added quite a bit of kerneldoc --
basically I have an internal rule here now to ensure this exists on all
functions and structures that are added, so it would be great to have this
on future code :-)

The updated series is at git://git.pwsan.com/linux-2.6 in
the "hwmod_soc_conditional_cleanup_3.5" branch.  Please let me know if
you have any comments.  It's only compile-tested here so far.  I'll be
rebasing my local copy of Vaibhav's series on it and will plan to send it
upstream for 3.5.

I guess this series missed 3.5 merge window. I was re-basing the OMAP5
minimal support against the 3.5-rc2 and one of the dependency for that
series is $subject series.

Tony,
How do we get the dependent series merged early enough so that OMAP5
support can be merged in linux-omap master to avoid any late build
breaks.

Regards
santosh
