Yeah, but still, every OMAP4 IPs are supporting that except two of them 
I guess, so it is a pity to add that to every IPs.

We'd better add a HWMOD_NO_CONTEXT_REG to the few IPs that are not 
supporting that. Since OMAP 2 & 3 does not have this feature at all, we 
can check on the cpu revision.

I think the issue raised by Rajendra was about AM35xx that looks like an 
OMAP3 variant but does have these registers like an OMAP4 variant:-(
