OK thanks.

Yes me neither, that causes a lot of extra work keeping thing working.

The clean-up we did caused quite a bit of these dependencies, but
was necessary for adding am33xx and omap5 in somewhat clean way to avoid
patching all over the place to add more soc_is_omapxxxx() calls. So this
amount of dependencies should be rare.

All the clean-up should really have been in the first clean-up branch, but
was not quite ready yet at that point. That would have simplified things
a lot.

Yes sorry about that, I too was considering leaving some of these branches
for v3.7 to let the dependencies clear out.. Anyways thanks again for the
extra effort on your part too.
