And all code was already there and seems to work (at least during my few tests), so I've just added an entry to the dts to be able to use a mmc-slot as one would expect a mmc-slot does work.

That driver should work on almost any architecture/platform/hardware which supports gpios and is small enough to be a good test candidate. Having had a short look at gpio-keys.c, I think the same problems as with omap_hsmmc would have been occured when someone had tried to use that driver with 3.11-rc2.

The 3 OMAP platforms which supports DT are AM33XX, OMAP4 and OMAP5.
OMAP3 based boards are getting converted but they are bit far from being
DT only. So my statement was again from what we support on mainline today
and those platform don't use gpio-keys. But for testing perspective,
I guess its good idea.

As mentioned above, we are going ahead with revert and possible better
alternative to the root of the problem.
