Yes, clearly we do have a corner case today due to the mix of hwmod /
DTS resource management.
- Legacy boot + hwmod resources is OK
- DTS boot with DTS resources will be OK
- DTS boot with hwmod resources is not OK since the resource name will
  not be populated in the case resources are not named :-(

If you are OK, I'll take that patch along with Vaibhav one to handle
properly the resources from DTS long with the DTS patches I'm queuing
for 3.7.

Thanks,
Benoit
