That sounds like a bug in the for-next branch. I just compiled the tip of
linux-omap (Tony's tree) with omap3_defconfig and it compiled fine. On
looking at the for-next error I realised it was fixed in master. (So
eventually Tony will put it into for-next as well)

No, this is all wrong!

Cherry-picking c040fd888b448a227c14e686eb67c09b625f75ac from the master
branch to for-next fixes the compile of an omap2/3/4 kernel.

Could you please try adding b970ecd55364ba3be1b6a500bf16abda3c8ec7e2 to our
maverick tree (master branch), compiling an -omap flavour and testing on your
panda?
