I've checked the commit and the original patch, and it seems we've screwed it up
from the beginning while cherry-picking commits between branches...
However, the patch that adds 'select CPU_PXA310' ([1]) is correct and apparently
was not applied properly (commit def8252ddb9bc52434b2ac1d560a609c61849638,
[ARM] pxa/cm-x300: add support for PXA310 cpu).

How shall we continue? Eric, will you revert commit db205463f and I will resend
corrected PWM patch?
