Tony,

As musb controllers are quite different between OMAPs and AM35x so it
would be difficult in terms of software maintenance with such approach.

Some of the major changes in AM35x are,
	- Has builtin USB PHY
	- It doesn't use Mentor DMA but uses CPPI4.1 DMA
	- Has set of wrapper register which are not present on OMAPs.
	- Doesn't have SYSCONFIG registers which are present on OMAPs.
	- Has bytewise read limitation which is not applicable to OMAPs.

Musb on AM35x is actually quite similar to musb on DA8xx family of
Devices.

I can update the patches to use USB_MUSB_AM35X config within 
drivers/usb/musb/ but that would still not be able to compile in
Both omapx and am35x stuff in single binary.

Thanks,
Ajay
