I didn't found definition for of_node member in omap_nand_platform_data
structure. This also might be missing in liniux-next?

Purpose of VH's patch was to get beagle bone booting, but Jon sent another
patch that made beagle bone boot and it has reached mainline by v3.7-rc2,
hence the patch you are referring to is currently not going upstream. Still to
have GPMC DT work, we need that patch as other wise there would be two GPMC
devices. In earlier versions of your series, you had a similar patch, it is
required, can you please add it to your series as otherwise with your series
GPMC DT won't work.

Yes they are independent. So go ahead and submit GPMC DT binding support.

My intention was just to tell you to test on linux-next not to resend (mistake).
