I have some out-of-tree stuff that deals with this device
(part of the omap3 patchset tries to do some QOMification,
but it was a bit tangled with adding omap3 features),
so if you could hold off on working on the various omap
devices in this set that might be better, til I see
whether any of the out-of-tree code is usefully salvageable.
