[PATCH 1/1] arm: add touchbook support

[Gregoire Gentil]

I get it now! Sorry for the confusion.

Perhaps, I will try one day - there was another guy who nicely offered
me to do some testing, but we didn't make the deal.

To be honest, my objective would be to get rid of u-boot (barebox) or
any middle stack. Right now, for the Touch Book, I'm setting up three
times the pins and the environment: x-load, u-boot, linux-omap. That's
crazy! And u-boot doesn't bring anything to the user except an early
splashscreen.

There was an interesting work made by a guy three months ago about
integrating everything up into the kernel. No x-load, no u-boot, no
barebox. If I had time, it's something that I would investigate.
Simplification at the extreme, removing all duplicate stack and
programs, pushing everything up to the kernel.

I don't know if there any barebox work about such strategy...
