OK, I've just spent 2 hours with HW folks trying to get the real truth...

In fact, this information is not even accurate :-(

There is no such thing as clock domain for PRCM IPs. These IPs are 
considered as clock generator or reset generator and thus does not 
belong to any clock domain.
This information was used to capture the power domain where they belong 
and thus the closest clock domain was used for that, but this is purely 
artificial.

Their first question was, why do you guys need that at the first place???

I guess this question is valid. Since we do not have any SW control, 
this information is completely useless except to potentially avoid 
de-referencing null clkdm.

So I guess it is much better to just take care of that and avoid 
populating with wrong or fake clock domains.

Going a little bit further, these IPs do not even have modulemode, or 
whatever SW control. Even the hwmod it not applicable for them. It 
should just be a regular platform_device and thus deserve a simple entry 
in DT without any hwmod attribute.

Bottom-line, I think we should simply get rid of these PRCM hwmod 
entries and the corresponding fake clock domains.

Does that make sense to you?

Benoit
