With recent changes in omap gpmc driver code, in case of DT
boot mode, where bootloader does not configure gpmc cs space
will result into kernel BUG() inside gpmc_mem_init() function,
as gpmc cs0 gpmc_config7[0].csvalid bit is set to '1' and
gpmc_config7[0].baseaddress is set to '0' on reset.

This use-case is applicable for any board/EVM which doesn't have
any peripheral connected to gpmc cs0, for example BeagleXM and
BeagleBone, so DT boot mode fails.

This patch adds of_have_populated_dt() check before creating
device, so that for DT boot mode, gpmc probe will not be called
which is expected behavior, as gpmc is not supported yet from DT.

I'm applying this one into omap-for-v3.7-rc1/fixes-part2.

Next time, please also cc linux-omap at vger.kernel.org for series
like this. I'm sure the people reading the omap list are interested
in these.

This patch appears to be masking an underlying issue. How about 
something like the following ...

Cheers
Jon

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP2+: Allow kernel to boot even if GPMC fails to
 reserve memory

Currently, if the GPMC driver fails to reserve memory when probed we will
call BUG() and the kernel will not boot. Instead of calling BUG(), return
an error from probe and allow kernel to boot.

Tested on AM335x beagle bone board.
