Not yet (didn't have the opportunity to test, although some uEVMs should
be around at MMS). As you know, a patch shall be needed in the uEVM board
file along with the common USB stuff.

Just applied 233823 to current u-boot-ti master. Works fine.

I would argue that this is not very appropriate. Those regs that are
reserved on the OMAP5 are related to altclkscr and auxclk5 on the OMAP4;
on the other hand the OMAP5 has some modem clock regs that are reserved
on OMAP4. We shall probably have ugly #ifdefs again. And what about OMAP3
and below?

Currently the scrm struct is defined for OMAP4 in the asm/arch-omap4/clocks.h
file and I have already done the same for OMAP5 by analogy. I must admit
however that this approach does not correspond to the latest way by which
groups of OMAP hardware regs are defined, prcm in particular - a struct in
omap_common.h, holding only the required regs, no padding and such garbage,
and an init with the physical addresses in a .c file for the particular SoC
(prcm-regs.c). But still the Panda board, for example, uses the old way for
scrm. Therefore I did it the same for OMAP5, which was easier (I'm old and
lazy ;) ).

Otherwise (a struct in omap_common.h) we shall need new scrm-regs.c files for
every OMAP flavor. Which way to go?

Lubo
