--- You can check dsp bridge services folder on omap3/4+ tree for the __other__ modules :).

CSL, ISR, PRCS modules can be removed. I provided an explanation on why clk.c cannot be removed in previous email. Some time ago I provided you an explanation on why dpc module cannot be replaced with direct calls to tasklets.

If you have any questions on the rest of the modules please let me know.

Thank you,
Best regards,
Hari
