Looks racy: if two hwmods with dynamic mux entries go idle at the same 
time, or one goes idle while another one is enabled, won't the calls to 
omap_trigger_io_chain() race?  Locking is per-hwmod and there's no locking 
in omap_trigger_io_chain() or the functions it calls.

Also, won't this result in needless resets of the I/O chain?  Seems like 
we'd only need to do this when the next power state of the enclosing 
powerdomain will enter either RETENTION or OFF.  And even then, it 
presumably should only happen when the last active device in that 
powerdomain is going idle?
