This is not yet in mainline, but being done by Santosh's series which
adds OMAP4 low power support in idle and suspend.

You are right, the code is buggy, I just posted a short series which
should fix this.

With Santosh's series which adds the clkdms_setup and my series
to fix the above bug, I should be able to handle this in the code,
rather than hack the clockdomains data.
I will post some patches for that as well.
