After chatting with Benoit a bit we came to the conclusion that the
clock and powerdomain state needs to be managed for the children by
the SCM core driver so the children can't be completely independent.

But rather than exporting omap_control_read/write, maybe you can
register the usb/bandgap whatever children with SCM core driver,
then have the runtime PM calls from children be passthrough calls
to the parent?

Maybe Kevin has some better ideas here?
