In this series we introduce a new board type: the Nanometrics Helios hardware platform v1. Like the other da850/omapl138 boards in arch/arm/mach-davinci it shares lots of common data definitions. For example boot_params location and uart config are common to this new board and to the existing da850/omapl138 boards in the tree.
To combat to potential platform-data ARM bloat that we would otherwise add with the introduction of the new board type we propose the creation of a da850-reference module shared among the boards. The general idea is that the da850evm is a 'reference implementation' and as such many of the boards do re-use this reference so they can/should share the data since builds are headed towards multi-machine. We first extract board setup data that is common to several of the omapl138/ da850 boards in 1,2,3,4. Then the new board type is introduced in 5. Boot-tested this series on-top of branch master @ a0cb2d282a57fd33ae57af2f2092974c82111b77 in git://gitorious.org/linux-davinci/linux-davinci.git on da850evm and heliosv1 hardware.
