Hi, All,
   After some discussion internally in TI, I think we (as TI catalog) would 
like to change the proposal a little bit.

1. The macros and source code will have da830 only. (no change) 
2. The menuconfig prompts will have "DA830/OMAP-L137" in them. (no change)
3. The defconfig would be called da830_omapl137_defconfig (no change).
4. The file and directory names should also have omapl137. (CHANGE)
I have listed the following directory and file names which are required to be 
changed. (There are not many). With the file/directory name change, OMAPL137 
users can tell which code is specifically applicable to OMAPL137 at a first 
glance. Does everyone agree this change?

Oops, yes, that's what I meant.  Sorry...
