On omaps, each bank is a separate driver instance with it's own interrupt. Maybe really all we need to do is get rid of the "bank" naming, I think that's left over from 15 years ago when we did not have separate driver instances. It seems we should s/bank/ddata/ on the driver to avoid confusion. Grygorii, any comments?
