Hi Andreas,

Thanks for taking the time to investigate this issue.

I believe I won't have much time to dive into it in the coming days, so
I fear you are right and we will have to revert this patch for now.
Except if someone else want to have a look at this.

I will try to get some OMAP3 board and come back to it a bit later.

Thanks,
Mathieu
