[RFC][PATCH v2 0/5] omap1: Amstrad Delta: add support for external keyboard

This series of patches adds support for an external keyboard (called 
mailboard) connected to the Amstrad Delta (E3) videophone.

The series is based on a patch by Matt Callow, created against
linux-omap-2.6.19[1], initially submitted to the e3-hacking mailing list in
April 2006[2].

Since the keyboard serial clock line is connected to a GPIO line, it generates
interrupts every single bit received. In order to handle this correctly, the
code makes use of a FIQ hardware feature. Since all GPIO generated interrupts 
would be converted to FIQ, the handler must include support for all supported 
GPIO connected devices: the keyboard, a modem and a hook switch.

My modifications to the original patch include:
- split into several patches,
- refresh against a recent linux version,
- a lot of cleanups, mainly to get rid of checkpatch reported issues,
- add support for handling interrupts generated by a GPIO line that the 
  meanwhile activated hook switch hangs off.
v2 changes:
- remove scan code to key code mapping from the serio driver, that doesn't 
  belong here and should be set up from userspace; thanks to Dmitry Torokhov 
  for advising this,
- no funtional changes in FIQ part (there were no comments in round 1).

There is still one minor issue that I was not able to deal with: when built 
with CONFIG_OMAP_RESET_CLOCKS=y, the keyboard driver stops working. I have no 
idea how I could find which clock I should enable to get it working regardless 
of boot loader used. Any suggestions?

Created and tested against linux-2.6.34-rc2.
