I tried to reproduce this on a Beagle rev C3, but I don't seem
to be seeing this issue. I was able to hit OFF mode in both
suspend and idle.

I also tried removing autodeps completely on OMAP3 and ran
into some issues/aborts with GPIO restore path with
OFF mode enabled.

Besides these, debugging some McBSP related crashes showed
up another issue with this patch.
Since the clockdomain is programmed back to HW_AUTO (if supported)
in the clock framework, this happens *before* waiting for the
module to become accessible. (On OMAP4, the check to make sure
the module is accessible happens in the hwmod framework, unlike
in older OMAP's, where it was part of the clock framework)

So instead of implementing the recommended sequence of
-1- Force clkdm to SW_WKUP
-2- Configure desired module mode to "enable" or "auto"
-3- Wait for the desired module idle status to be FUNC
-4- Program clkdm in HW_AUTO(if supported)

..it was actually implementing the wrong sequence as below
-1- Force clkdm to SW_WKUP
-2- Configure desired module mode to "enable" or "auto"
-3- Program clkdm in HW_AUTO(if supported)
-4- Wait for the desired module idle status to be FUNC

This however was only a problem on OMAP4.

Fixing this would require moving the clockdomain programming
back to HW_AUTO as part of the hwmod framework.
However this sequence is recommended even for optional
clock enabling, and hence might have to be handled at
the clock framework as well. (Since optional clocks
are still controlled by drivers using clock framework
directly).
Any suggestions on how to handle this without duplicating
much of this across clock and hwmod framework?

Rajendra
