And this is exactly the problem I have with this name. I don't have a
problem with putting multiple boards in one directory, it's only the
name which makes people think, hm, my board is omap based, I'll put mine
there, too.
Besides, I still think it's better to put one board in one directory and
once we realize that code would be useful for more than one board move
it one level up, arch/arm/mach-omap in this case.
The only code shared between omap boards so far is 10 lines of assembly
code. Is there more to come?
Regards,
Sascha
