The only little problem was that during bootup, when hwmods are setup, 
only the 'parent' hwmod was able to get reset properly, all the other 
'child' hwmods don't have modulemode bits tied to them, and hence 
weren't able to reset. So we got some error prints.

Once DSS driver kicks in, the driver ensures the parent is enabled for 
any child to be enabled, so we don't face the issue again.

So, if DSS driver is not built in, and if the bootloader left DSS in a 
bad state, the DSS clocks might remain messed up all the time since 
hwmod fwk wasn't able to reset them.

I think this is why we didn't proceed with remove "dss_fck" as a slave 
clock. If this issue is minor, we could go ahead and remove it.
