Tony,

All this is handled using cpu_is_omapxxxx() checks, something like,

int __init omap_init_clocksource_32k(void) {
	...

	if (cpu_is_omap16xx() || cpu_class_is_omap2()) {
	...
	...
	...

	}
}

This will not help for omap2/3+ devices.

I have cleaned up the code and about to submit it, please review
it and provide the comments.

Submitting shortly...

Thanks,
Vaibhav
