Great, I've started mirroring this as omapfb-upstream branch in the linux-omap
tree for easy testing.

Looks like your patch "ARM: OMAP: NOKIA-770: Add support for HWA742 LCD controller"
needs fixing to just pass the clocks to the LCD driver as discussed in
the recent 770 thread.

Also your patch "ARM: OMAP: FB: Add OMAP3 DISPC support" will be obsolete,
I have a fix in my omap-fixes queue that solves the problem with clkdev.
