That should be done based on the iorange coming from DT during the driver
probe. The range in hwmod can be populated at that point too if needed.

Heh, but the unclaimed devices do not have a driver :) So there's no runtime_pm
calls for the unclaimed devicdes.

Yes I'm fine merging the data as is, just trying to figure out how to sort
out the issues for future.

Yes I agree. And then we should also drop the data from hwmod when it's no
longer needed.

Hmm I thought that got merged already? Anyways, the iorange and interrupts
are standard resources that should exist in every device entry in .dts files.
