Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your work on this. I found this patch marked as superseeded
in the tracker here:

http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=5773/1

I'd now like to use struct pdev_archdata myself on mach-shmobile, so
almost a year later I wonder why this patch didn't make it.

I realize that you use struct omap_device instead of struct
pdev_archdata. I prefer not to wrap if possible. This because I'd like
to reuse already existing drivers and PM code with the SuperH
architecture.

Do you remember what happened with this patch?

Cheers,
