Ehm. What about the other omap kernel recipes.
There are 38 (!) of them in 15 different flavours that have omap in the
name:

linux-amsdelta-2.6 (recipe is called linux-amsdelta-2.6_2.6.16-omap2.bb)
linux-h6300-omap1
linux-omap
linux-omap-2.6
linux-omap-archos
linux-omap-multi-psp
linux-omap-pm
linux-omap-psp
linux-omap-zoomsync
linux-omap1
linux-omap2
linux-omapandroid
linux-omapzoom
linux-palm-omap1
linux-tornado-omap2

(and yeah, I know some are omap1 and some are omap2, but still I feel this
is an unwarranted diversity that could benefit from unification).

Apart from that there is linux-davinci with 5 recipes and linux-igep2 with a
recipe.

Seems to me this has grown out of control.
