If selecting these on platforms that don't have twl
causes problems the problem should be fixed.

You can disable CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2PLUS_TYPICAL, and
then these don't get selected.

The reason for CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2PLUS_TYPICAL is to
produce a booting kernel if you do the following:

$ echo CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP=y > .config
$ yes "" | ARCH=arm make oldconfig
$ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=mycompiler uImage

So I'd rather keep it around for now. In the long run
omap2plus_defconfig should build a working kernel with
everything as modules though..

BTW, looks like small patch is needed with the patches queued
in omap-for-linus to make the above compile. Will post
as a reply to this mail.
