Hey that's great :)

> Here is the patch summary:

>     hsmmc-omap.h as I am getting build errors on subsequent patches when
>     I removed some of the platform_data header files.
>  2. Patches 3 through 7 remove the .dev_attr data for the above modules
>     from various hwmod data files and some macros from McSPI & McBSP
>     platform data header files
>  3. Patch 8 moves the plat-omap/include/plat/i2c.h into mach-omap1
>     folder as there is no common i2c code in plat-omap folder anymore.
>  4. Last patch is a minor cleanup of gpio headers from couple of files.

OK. It seems that we should do the clean up first if it just means
leaving out unused header files.

OK we should fix them. The capabilities can be seen by looking at
the hardware and clockdomains. The always-on timers are of sysc
type 1 (ti,sysc-omap2-timer) and in a always on power domain. The
others are of sysc type 2 (ti,sysc-omap4-timer). We should get
warnings for those from ti,sysc driver eventually if they don't
match :)

I think Nikolaus had patches coming for removing the last user
of mmc pdata?

I think all we need to do is have pandora_wl1251_init_card
initialized in the MMC driver based on a compatible value..
