In any case, what we should be doing here as well is moving the headers
included by drivers for platform data out of the arch/arm/mach/ subtrees
and into include/linux/platform_data.  That will substantially reduce the
amount of mach/ headers to deal with.

I've just looked at the {mach,plat}/*.h files that get included in ARM
specific drivers. Out of the 342 header files that get used in this way,
I found 93 that are practically just platform data, and a few that
are platform_data mixed with something else.

How about I move all the pure platform data definition files now and
rebase the other patches on top of that. Here is a list of suggested
file names in include/linux/platform_data/:

I've just scripted this and am running my build testsuite over it now.

Please let me know what you think about it.

The following changes since commit fea7a08acb13524b47711625eebea40a0ede69a0:

  Linux 3.6-rc3 (2012-08-22 13:29:06 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc.git 

I'd like to run some checks on this, but branch name missing here for
pulling a branch in for testing..

FYI, after talking with Arnd this is the testing/platform-data branch
in the arm soc tree. Seems to build and work fine on omaps:

Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

Arnd, can you please provide a stable branch to use as a base of
other related header changes?

Actually it's probably best if I just take your commit 0c6f1498
(ARM: omap: move platform_data definitions) into my cleanup branch
to avoid the dependency of getting acks from all the subarch
maintainers.

That's because I want to base more things on this patch that will
cause merge conflicts otherwise.

Also, Peter Ujfalusi wanted to change the dsp-mcbsp.h name to
ti-mcbsp.h. I can post the updated patch assuming hat's OK with
you Arnd?

Regards,

Tony
