But they are not separately gated for OMAP4 either. This is the 
modulemode trick that make us think that, but it just means that the 
PRCM should ensure that this clock is needed when at least one UART 
modulemode is enabled. In fact the SPI modules are using the same clock.

The modulemode is used to do some reference counting, but the gating is 
done globally. It was the same with the FCK_EN and ICK_EN in OMAP2&3.

The PRCM spec show only one global gating between FUNC_48M_FCLK and 
PER_48M_GFCLK. All the modules are sharing the exact same clock.
