Thanks.

This is also my understanding. However, Linus isn't that fond of ARM 
board files, which is where the conflicts are...

One could argue that the board file changes should go through the OMAP 
tree, but both the driver and the board files need to be changed at the 
same time to keep kernel compiling.
