The hardware registers are named the same way...

Unfortunately, TI moves registers around with each release, and OMAP4
stuff is _way_ more complex and maze of ifdefs, too.

static struct temp_sensor_data omap4430_mpu_temp_sensor_data = {
        .min_freq = OMAP4430_MIN_FREQ,
 	.max_freq = OMAP4430_MAX_FREQ,
 	.max_temp = OMAP4430_MAX_TEMP,
	.min_temp = OMAP4430_MIN_TEMP,
 	.hyst_val = OMAP4430_HYST_VAL,
	};

and each define used just once. Would be easier to read and modify if
the ifdefs were removed...
