First, you haven't addressed any of the comments made on the list about your series. Tony isn't merging this patch because most of it should go via the SPI subsystem. A Santosh suggested, you need to break this up into parts that are OMAP specific (arch/arm/*) and parts that go via the SPI subsystem (drivers/spi/*.) If doing this breaks your series, then fix it because if it breaks compile this way, then upstream maintainers will surely hit the same errors and complain. David Brownell is the SPI maintainer. I suggest you send to him, CC'ing linux-omap.
