    But we support more than 6 SoCs... :-)

    I haven't found such words in either OMAP-L137 or OMAP-L138 datasheets.
What they say is:

<<
- On PSC0 PD1/PD_DSP Domain: Controls the sleep state for DSP L1 and L2 Memories
- On PSC1 PD1/PD_SHRAM Domain: Controls the sleep state for the 128K Shared RAM

    Although "OMAP-L137 Application Processor System Reference Guide" indeed 
said that powering off domain 1 is not supported.
    Actually, I was able to power down DSP/shared RAM domains on DA830 (at 
least the state transition completed); although the domains were on, at least 
after U-Boot. That's how I checked that the code powering up these domains 
actually locks up on this SoC.

    At least on DA830 power domains appear to be programmable. So I'd still 
like the patch to be applied (I could drop DM355 check though).
