Note that there's a bunch of OMAP drivers in staging which are trivially
broken anyway; I've not been bothering to report their breakages which
my build system is finding - I figure that if they're trivially broken
with compile time errors which aren't config related, and no one's
bothering to fixing them, then no one is even trying to build them -
which means they're not being used.

And if they're not being used, it's pointless them being in mainline.
