Indeed, that's a much better alternative.  I didn't bother to check if
th resulting omap_device pointer was actually used.

Yeah, yours is a better patch and we should take that one.  Feel free to
add 

Acked-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman at ti.com>

I'll include it in my series for reference also (because I need it due
to modifying how platform_device is contained within an omap_device) but
yours will probably make it upstream first since I'm about to go offline
for ~2 weeks.

Thanks,

Kevin
