Merged, but not happy about it.

As mentioned on IRC, I was going to let this one be until 3.11, but it sounds
like it will cause regressions in DSS if we don't merge it.

This is an indication that the work wasn't done right on the DSS rework.
Ideally the old configurations through platform_data should have been left in
for a release to give the boards a window to convert over without regressing
functionality. Tomi, please don't do it this way in the future since it's
painful for everybody to deal with.

I've queued this with late/cleanup. I noticed some conflicts with the previous
omap/fixes-non-critical and omap/boards branches that I brought in as a base so
I could fix it up in my merge instead of having it go all the way up to Linus
to resolve.
