Yeah, I know, I was too lazy when I did the DT conversion at that time :-)

Many thanks for completing the work.

OK, that's a nit, but in general, you'd better introduce the binding
before using it.

The binding documentation could/should be updated along with the driver
change that does introduce the binding. You could just merged patch #1
and #3.

I'll try to do it on Beagle. This is the least I can do since I did not
do the job myself :-)

I added vaibhav as well since I do not have any omap3-evm board.

Nit #2: the DTS file does not belong to the gpio subsystem. So you
should prefix them using the *convention* for ARM DTS patches:

arm/dts: omap3: Add gpio-twl4030 properties for BeagleBoard and omap3-EVM

Or maybe "ARM: dts: " because it looks like most people are using that
nowadays.

The convention for the gpio directory is similar:
gpio/twl4030: get platform data from device tree
