Dear Luca Ceresoli,

Will be called dig297 in v2.
Well, not so fast.
The board is named OMAP3_CPS in the ARM Linux Machine Registry (http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/list.php?id=2751), which is reflected in mach-types.h.
If you want, you can ask for a name change in the Machine Registry. On the other hand, I see no inherent issues when the board config name 0n U-Boot (and Linux?) don't match the MACH_ID's name.
But I forgot one thing: it seems also a good idear that the board config names in U-Boot and Linux match. But you don't have any Linux kernel code pushed upstream yet, or have you?
Am I supposed to rename the board in the registry, then wait for mach-types to be updated in U-Boot before submitting a new patch?
No, this is not really necessary.
Or can I live with the current name in mach-types and rename elsewhere?
Yes. You may want to clean that up in the near future, but it's not blocking anything here.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
