OK, I got your point, but in that case we could potentially define a 
omap4460.dtsi file.

Yes, this is the best solution, but that assume that we can identify the 
control module version from the HW, which is not necessarily true :-(

The IP_REVISION (offset = 0) value are unfortunately not documented, so 
we should read it to check if they are different from omap4430 and 4460.

The bitfield layout in that register is:

IP_REV_MAJOR: 8..10
IP_REV_CUSTOM: 6..7
IP_REV_MINOR: 0..5
