Last night I tried enabling DT booting on the LDP.  This resulted in
quite a horrid mess, so I don't think you're there still.
Thanks for trying. Other than the mystery battery issue, the others
should pretty much go away with just .config changes it seems.

The biggest problem seems to be that the kernel does /nothing/ but
spit out:

power_supply twl4030_ac: driver failed to report `current_now' property: -850000

Yes, the battery is disconnected, but there's absolutely no reason to keep
printing that damned warning time and time again.  The boot logger didn't
expect this, and it's logged about 16 hours of these continual messages
into the database... that's around 1.4GB of log!
Hmm, I thought Nishant fixed that already with commit 61a7784efd3
"power: twl4030_charger: detect battery presence prior to enabling
charger".

I'm not seeing these errors with twl4030_charger built in. For me it just
bails out without a battery like it should:

twl4030_bci 48070000.i2c:twl at 48:bci: Battery was not detected:-19

Nishant, any ideas on this one?

Other errors:

omap_hwmod: mcbsp2_sidetone using broken dt data from mcbsp
omap_hwmod: mcbsp3_sidetone using broken dt data from mcbsp
This is a known issue with data for multiple devices squashed
into one in the .dts files.

Peter, any news on fixing up this issue? I think you promised to
look at it already a while back :)

Not seeing these either. Is this maybe from your 4430sdp instead?
This is /all/ from the 3430 LDP.

Compare these two URLs:

http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/build/result.php?type=boot&idx=2891
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/build/result.php?type=boot&idx=2892

Beware - the second one will be truncated to 1MB of log (but with the
regexp extraction of errors, it's probably going to be more like 2MB.)

Both of those are booting the _exact_ same kernel binary.  The difference
between them is that the first (2891) is booted in legacy mode.  The
second (2892) is booted with omap3-ldp.dtb appended to the zImage and
wrapped in a uImage.

There is only one config file for these two boots, because as I say, it's
the exact same binary booted in legacy mode, then booted in DT mode.

This I'm seeing too, will take a look at this one.

I'll take a look at this one as we now have a binding for
twl4030_keypad. Probably just missing the keymap in the .dts
file. The gpio keys should work though.

Digging the remaining messages out from between all the crap about the
battery:

Not seeing this with my LDP. I think you're probably missing:
CONFIG_REGULATOR_TWL4030
CONFIG_REGULATOR_PBIAS
As you will see from the above link, I have:

CONFIG_REGULATOR_TWL4030=y

but not REGULATOR_PBIAS - because MFD_SYSCON is not set.

I'm not seeing this one either on my LDP. I'm getting just one warning
"multiblock reads disabled due to 35xx erratum 2.1.1.128"
but the card works just fine here with no errors. I'd assume these go
away with enabling the regulators above.
Or it could be that the amount of crap being spewed by the battery driver
is messing up the dodgy MMC.

Of course, no problems with exactly the same kernel binary image without
DT.  I'd summarise this as DT remains totally unusable on LDP3430.  It's
soo unusable that it is going to /force/ me to take it out of the nightly
boot test, otherwise I'm going to have to manually intervene each and
every morning to kill the board.
The LDP is certainly usable here with device tree based booting.

It seems you're probably missing some .config options. Care to post
your .config somewhere? Or maybe give it a try with omap2plus_defconfig?
I'm not trying with omap2plus_defconfig as this is supposed to be a
separate build.  Given that - as I say - the /exact/ same kernel binary
works in legacy mode, it suggests that there's some pretty major
differences between what devices are supported in a legacy boot mode
and what devices are supported in DT boot mode.
If that works, then maybe enable CONFIG_CHARGER_TWL4030=y in
omap2plus_defconfig and see if you get the battery issue with it too?
I do have that option enabled.

I really /can't/ risk letting the platform boot again in DT mode having
just played around with some options - if it spews like it did again
last night, it'll spew for the whole day tomorrow, and I really don't
want the database filling up with another gigabyte of log.

I'll see about tweaking some of those options, but it'll have to be a
manual run sometime next week to test it.
