Hi Omar,

I found one minor change wrt to the original that I'd like to understand 
better.

The original entry was unnamed since it is an unique entry and thus does 
not need to be differentiate on this platform.

	{ .irq = 26 + OMAP44XX_IRQ_GIC_START },

Do you really need to have a name here? The strategy being to provide a 
name only if more than one entry exist.
It is perfectibility doable, I'm just trying to understand your rational.

Thanks,
Benoit
