Oops on my part...

I looked at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-davinci.git#davinci-next
again ; HEAD at the time was:

  commit 5682cfebad5e68736f4c54a268b5b371698f5262
  Author: Ben Gardiner <bengardiner@nanometrics.ca>
  Date:   Thu Dec 9 16:51:07 2010 -0500

      da850-evm: KEYBOARD_GPIO_POLLED Kconfig conditional

      Use the mach-davinci/Kconfig to enable gpio-keys-polled as default when
      da850-evm machine is enabled.

and I was unable to build a kernel from da8xx_omapl_defconfig b/c:

  arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da850-evm.c:333: error: unknown field
'poll_interval' specified in initializer

It appears that dropping the cherry-pick caused the build failure.

The commit that introduces the polled gpio keys driver (which was
included in the series as a cherry pick) is commit
0e7d0c860a0dee49dacb7bbb248d1eba637075ad which is in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git#master
_after_ the tag v2.6.37-rc5.

That's my fault. I incorrectly thought that commit
0e7d0c860a0dee49dacb7bbb248d1eba637075ad was _in_ 2.6.37-rc5 and
stated this is previous emails. I'm sorry for the confusion; I think I
jumped the gun there due to my excitement at getting this prerequisite
driver committed.
