In general we should not keep duplicate old non-DT data around
now that we have the DT append support. Instead we should just
require the .dts file appended to zImage for all mach-omap2
machines. Otherwise we'll end up with double bloat :)

So it's OK to have the DT entries in board files so drivers
that get converted will work with them.
