Yeah, I don't like that either. Some twl variants are used on other
platform. And these variants might include the original twl4030 as a
base. None of them are in mainline for sure, but anyway adding SoC stuff
in external IC file is not a good practice.

I don't want people in the future using that as an excuse for similar hacks.

The easiest way is to create an extra file including the platform free
twl4030 file and adding the OMAP3 specific config on top of that.
Every OMAP3 boards will the used that file. Otherwise you can hack each
boards.

Benoit
