I'll drop the version information from commit log.

Thanks for catching it.

It is already used. MODULE_APX4 is selected by MACH_APX4DEVKIT.

Thanks. I'll fix it.

Maybe it is better to use sscanf for parsing mac address, is it. I 
didn't found any generic function for this purpose. Is there any?

Other boards seems to use similar methods for parsing mac address:
arch/arm/mach-orion5x/dns323-setup.c: dns323_read_mac_addr
arch/arm/mach-orion5x/tsx09-common.c: qnap_tsx09_check_mac_addr
arch/mips/rb532/devices.c: parse_mac_addr

I dont't mean it is right/best way to do parsing but it seems to be 
generic problem.

We do not want to use otps for mac.

I could rename the parameter name.

Do you mean init_machine and timer are in wrong order?
