I just wanted to let you know that I have been updating the PMU patches
for OMAP. Latest can be found here [1]. I have not included Paul's patch
[2] in this series at the moment, because although it works well for
OMAP4, I need to create the HWMOD structures for OMAP3. Without these
structures it breaks OMAP3 PMU support. Once this is done we should be
able to get rid for the OMAP3 dependency on ETM. Unfortunately, Benoit
(Mr HWMOD) is out on his holidays but should be back next week and then
maybe he can give me some guidance on this HWMOD stuff.

Cheers
Jon
