Oops, sorry.  I forgot to mention it.

Due to some misc. dependencies (mainly on Beagle board file), I've
temporarily based it on the for-next branch of the arm-soc tree[1]
since that has everything already queued for the next merge window. I
also based it on the omap_device patch I posted which changes the pr_*
prints to dev_*.

For convenience, I've pushed this series to the 'wip/od-devres' branch
of my tree[2].

Sorry for the confusion,

Kevin
