Sorry for noticing that just now, but there is still a problem with
this patch: we now always compile-in the OMAP_GPMC driver whenever we
need the NAND controller, even though it is not needed. This grows the
kernel for no reason.

In fact, Roger once said:

	"We will figure out how to enable OMAP_GPMC for K3 architecture
	some other way."

It turns out this is not what was finally proposed. Could we try yet
another solution?
