In any case, what we should be doing here as well is moving the headers included by drivers for platform data out of the arch/arm/mach/ subtrees and into include/linux/platform_data. That will substantially reduce the amount of mach/ headers to deal with.
I've just looked at the {mach,plat}/*.h files that get included in ARM specific drivers. Out of the 342 header files that get used in this way, I found 93 that are practically just platform data, and a few that are platform_data mixed with something else.
How about I move all the pure platform data definition files now and rebase the other patches on top of that. Here is a list of suggested file names in include/linux/platform_data/:
I've just scripted this and am running my build testsuite over it now.
Please let me know what you think about it.

The following changes since commit fea7a08acb13524b47711625eebea40a0ede69a0:
Linux 3.6-rc3 (2012-08-22 13:29:06 -0700)
are available in the git repository at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc.git
I'd like to run some checks on this, but branch name missing here for pulling a branch in for testing..
FYI, after talking with Arnd this is the testing/platform-data branch in the arm soc tree. Seems to build and work fine on omaps:

Arnd, can you please provide a stable branch to use as a base of other related header changes?
Actually it's probably best if I just take your commit 0c6f1498 (ARM: omap: move platform_data definitions) into my cleanup branch to avoid the dependency of getting acks from all the subarch maintainers.
That's because I want to base more things on this patch that will cause merge conflicts otherwise.
Also, Peter Ujfalusi wanted to change the dsp-mcbsp.h name to ti-mcbsp.h. I can post the updated patch assuming hat's OK with you Arnd?
Regards,
Tony
