Hmm after looking into it more we're missing one piece of the puzzle
to handle SCM regulators, which is omap-scm-regulator.c :)
I'll do a minimal DT only version of that.

Yes you're right, we're missing omap-scm-regulator.c, then it will
be trivial to select the regulator from DT like we have for the
twl-regulator.c.

Oh, it's a clock. Then it would be best to set it up using the
common clock framework and have the clock registered by the
SCM core driver when those are available.

Maybe please just add a comment for that for later on?
