This patch is not required, Without this patch is works for me,

[root at arago /]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.6.0-rc1-next-20120803-00010-g5f6bf0f (a0393758 at psplinux064) (gcc version 4.5.3 20110311 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Aug 3 15:06:57 IST 2012

Do you have below patch??
ARM: OMAP: cpu: Make cpu_class_is_omap2 true for all non-omap1 platforms


Also I have pushed branch (based on linux-next/master) to 
https://github.com/hvaibhav/am335x-linux/tree/am335x-linux-next-master


Thanks,
Vaibhav
