Hmm this does not seem to compile with omap2plus_defconfig because
of section type conflicts. Looks like there's some issue now with the
use of __initconst:

arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-generic.c:262:20: error: dra72x_boards_compat causes a section type conflict with omap_dt_match_table
arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-generic.c:30:34: note: ‘omap_dt_match_table’ was declared here
scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-generic.o' failed

Regards,

Tony
