The config does not disable the support for other OMAP devices. It
should support most of the OMAP devices available (but they
probably need some more drivers). The only limitation is, that
it must use an OMAP2 processor or later (you have to select in the
kernel config if you want OMAP1 support or OMAP2+). I do not own
other devices, so I could only test Nokia's N900.
