Just tested your branch with omap3 beagle + omap4 blaze (with my omap4
cswr set on top), and it works on both.
For the WUCLK poll bit I added detailed comments on patch 2 thread, but
my current understanding is that the implementation now on omap3 / omap4
is what they should be due to IP differences (except maybe the small
optimization for omap3 part you commented about.)
