arch/sparc{,64} should be easy if you have a cross compiler (though it
should work, Dave gets cranky if you break his tree :-))  Dave should just
take the patches if you do test compile them.  Tell him I sent you :-)

The intention is that everyone only includes linux/of*.h (except for
linux/of*.h of course) at which point we should be able to remove the
includes of linux/of*.h from asm*/of*.h.

Some more unification should be possible over time, but that is much
harder.
