Merge tag 'omap-for-v3.11/fixes-for-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes

Omap fixes and minor defconfig updates that would be good to
get in before -rc1.

* tag 'omap-for-v3.11/fixes-for-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap:
  ARM: OMAP2+: omap2plus_defconfig: Enable appended DTB support
  ARM: OMAP2+: Enable TI_EDMA in omap2plus_defconfig
  ARM: OMAP2+: omap2plus_defconfig: enable DRA752 thermal support by default
  ARM: OMAP2+: omap2plus_defconfig: enable TI bandgap driver
  ARM: OMAP2+: devices: remove duplicated include from devices.c
  ARM: OMAP3: igep0020: Set DSS pins in correct mux mode.
  ARM: OMAP2+: N900: enable N900-specific drivers even if device tree is enabled
  ARM: OMAP2+: Cocci spatch "ptr_ret.spatch"
  ARM: OMAP2+: Remove obsolete Makefile line
  ARM: OMAP5: Enable Cortex A15 errata 798181
  ARM: scu: provide inline dummy functions when SCU is not present
  ARM: OMAP4: sleep: build OMAP4 specific functions only for OMAP4
  ARM: OMAP2+: timer: initialize before using oh_name
