I had in mind adding a new flag bit for struct omap_hwmod.flags for this 
purpose, mostly for these reasons:

1. Russell indicated a preference to avoid strcmp() for this type of
   situation during the clock code merge a few years ago

2. Testing a single bit is much more efficient than calling strcmp(), 
   which will hopefully make life a little easier when running on an 
   FPGA emulator

A separate field would of course work as well, but seems more heavyweight 
if there's only one special case.
