ref: [1], we discussed that we should now be able to introduce all instances of 
h/w blocks into the dra7.dts. Further, considering [2]

hmm, thats a long discussion on crossbar driver that [1] points to. Do you want 
to summarize what you mean by 'introduce all instances of h/w blocks'

I recommend reading the last few emails on the thread about how we could do this with pinctrl. unfortunately, this patch is not informative enough to indicate that not all instances of the potential IP blocks are listed here.


would you not want to follow "status = disabled" for all modules by default and 
enable required modules in board file, so that we dont have to respin this yet again?

Well, I was just following the convention of whats already followed on existing 
OMAPs. See [3] for some views on these.

DRA7 case, I would not think it makes sense due to the number of product variants being done, not all will use the same set. Further, rationale for DRA7 and my suggestion for Grant's option (1) is mainly because the product variants will require more dtsis rather than board files using the product variants use just the necessary modules from a common dtsi. Makes support of variants like OMAP57xx etc trivial and constrainted to board file usage, rather than spinning off new dtsis.
