so the idea looks okay to me, but several of the patches aren't addressed 
to the right people.  You can use the MAINTAINERS file to figure out the 
right place to send them.

The PXA patches need to go to the appropriate PXA people, who are 
probably:

M:      Eric Miao <eric.y.miao at gmail.com>
M:      Russell King <linux at arm.linux.org.uk>
M:      Haojian Zhuang <haojian.zhuang at gmail.com>
L:      linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers)

The OMAP RNG patch needs to go to 

M:      Deepak Saxena <dsaxena at plexity.net>
M:      Matt Mackall <mpm at selenic.com>
M:      Herbert Xu <herbert at gondor.apana.org.au>

As far as the remaining three OMAP patches go, they look okay to me but 
Tony Lindgren is the maintainer of these files and so he's the right 
person to merge them.

One other comment - the description on the patches isn't quite accurate.  
The patches don't remove code duplication per se, they just replace some 
boilerplate code with a macro.
