Sounds good, yes.

Ah, right. I see these two includes from mach-versatile to plat/*.h headers:

arch/arm/mach-versatile/core.c:#include <plat/clcd.h>
arch/arm/mach-versatile/core.c:#include <plat/sched_clock.h>

We can deal with those by adding

ccflags-y := -I$(srctree)/arch/arm/plat-versatile/include

to mach-versatile/Makefile, or we can rearrange the code. The opposite
direction would be harder, but I don't see any remaining dependencies
there.
