Although it has OMAP in the name, the OMAP-L1xx family is much closer to 
Davinci than OMAP.

Here's why I think it's more like Davinci:
* Has PSC like Davinci, not PRCM like OMAP
* EDMA3 is the main DMA engine, no SDMA
* No MMU on DSP
* Uses Switched Central Resource (SCR) rather than L3/L4 interconnects
* ARM926 core like Davinci
* EMAC
* The DSP is actually called "DSP" rather than being part of "IVA"

It was a marketing decision to name the part OMAP-L1xx.  That was mainly to 
convey that it's a low power device, which is something that OMAP is known for. 
 Davinci is associated with video and the OMAP-L1xx is not targeted for video.
