Well to me it seems that you only have cpu_is_omap usage in
arch/arm/mach-omap2/gpmc-nand.c, which will be OK. Only the code
under drivers/* needs to be fixed for that. So your patches may
be OK, but..

..please check that your patches work with current linux next.

It's too late to queue thing for v3.8 merge window at this point,
as we want the patches sitting in linux next for a week at least
before they get pulled.

And we still need the acks for the device tree binding as well.

So let's plan on queueing these after -rc1.

Regards,

Tony
