If we could guarantee that fremantle incl all blobs can work on a OMAP4, all the better! Nikolaus mentioned that we might even have the needed additional 0.8mm headroom in N900 case that were missing in GTA02 case, so we *could* go OMAP4. Then OTOH I know about SiErr in all OMAP4 that are declared "WONTFIX in OMAP4" by TI. So maybe we do not even want to go for OMAP4.
TI never keep their promises. It's too bad as they make really nice SoC's. I have been waiting since the release of BeagleBone Black for the SGX530 driver for kernel 3.8.

If you ask them about progress, "It's done when it's done" is the answer you get. Relying on TI is like asking a deaf man for directions.

So it might be a good choice not to have OMAP4. But we'll see.
