Merge tag 'omap-for-v3.8/gpmc-signed' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into next/drivers
From Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>:
omap GPMC (General Purpose Memory Controller) updates via Afzal Mohammed <afzal@ti.com>:
These changes provide a generic gpmc timing calculation method,
migrates existing peripherals that makes use of custom gpmc timing
calculation method to use the new generic one.
The generic timing routine has been tested with onenand, smsc911x,
and tusb6010 devices connected to GPMC in addition to simulating
other devices support in the mainline kernel.
