Maybe use WARN so that the warning is more verbose and kernel gets tainted?
Well I was hoping to avoid annoying people with the trace.
But can do that if people prefer that, what do others think?
WARN is better and eye catchy. Also, could we add information on when
the support will be removed since we call it deprecated?
I also think, that more eye catchy is better.

Apart from that I wonder if we should drop support on a
board-by-board basis and then drop omap3 support completly once all
boards have been dropped.
