TI omap4-dev

[Bryan Wu]

Tim, Thanks a lot.

Tobin and Oliver, since this 2.6.38 omap4 kernel doesn't support HDMI
output, we need to use DVI output. And we have to use the specific kernel
command line for the testing image like this:

 vram=32M mem=460M at 0x80000000
mem=256M at 0xA0000000root=UUID=a0b30043-0ab1-4064-af39-a7545a0f8811
fixrtc
omapfb.mode=dvi:1920x1080MR-24 at 60 omapdss.def_disp=dvi
Thanks,
-Bryan
