I probably know whats going wrong with this patch, even though I
haven't really been able to reproduce any of these issues myself.

The below change which should be the only one affecting non-OMAP4
platforms actually is calling clkdm_allow_idle() for all clkdms
without really checking for a CLKDM_CAN_ENABLE_AUTO flag, which
seems wrong. I was somehow under the impression that the
clkdm_allow_idle() function would internally do this check but
that does not seem to be the case.

+	/* If clockdomain supports hardware control, enable it */
+	if (clk->clkdm)
+		clkdm_allow_idle(clk->clkdm);

I could see that emu_clkdm on OMAP3 is one clockdomain for
which CLKDM_CAN_ENABLE_AUTO is been disabled.

 From clockdomains2xxx_3xxx_data.c file..
--------
/*
  * Disable hw supervised mode for emu_clkdm, because emu_pwrdm is
  * switched of even if sdti is in use
  */
static struct clockdomain emu_clkdm = {
         .name           = "emu_clkdm",
         .pwrdm          = { .name = "emu_pwrdm" },
         .flags          = /* CLKDM_CAN_ENABLE_AUTO |  */CLKDM_CAN_SWSUP,
         .clktrctrl_mask = OMAP3430_CLKTRCTRL_EMU_MASK,
         .omap_chip      = OMAP_CHIP_INIT(CHIP_IS_OMAP3430),
};
--------

Maybe programming emu_clkdm in HW_AUTO is the one that shows
up these strange behavior on select BeagleBoard's.
Not sure if this would fix the issue but this does seem
like a necessary fix needed for this patch.

Paul,

To handle this I was thinking of adding another clockdomain
framework api, something like a clkdm_post_clk_enable, to do
the post clock/module enable sequencing of clockdomain
programming. Or is it ok to check for a clockdomain specific
flag in clock framework? Any thoughts?

Now that its too late for this to make it to .39, I can
experiment with this sequence on OMAP2/3 as well and see
if all the autodeps can then be removed.

regards,
Rajendra
