Well this is the right time, however we're moving things to device tree
and coalescing code. So you may need to be prepared to update the patches
a few times before we get them to mainline.

Yes v3.1-rc1 should be used as the base. I've been on vacation and
have not updated the omap tree for a while, will updated it soonish,
but will be just v3.1-rc1 + bug fixes.
