I have been keeping an occasional eye on these patches but I don't see
any usefulness for the currently supported C6X chips. The current set
of supported chips use a completely different DDR controller. There is
an EMIF controller on some which provides a parallel bus for connecting
to external devices (NOR flash, etc) but it looks completely different
from the OMAP EMIF. I think the TI DaVinci chips have EMIF (and other IO
blocks) similar to C6X which could use common drivers.
