Depending on what you plan to do, you'll probably need to coordinate this 
with Tony also.  He's already pulled some of the patches from this series 
into his i2c branch.

The real question is how you plan to handle the device reset function, 
given that the driver should compile on a non-OMAP build (meaning that you 
can't call omap_device*() functions from the driver directly), nor should 
the driver touch the SYSCONFIG register directly.
