It all comes down to if SIDLE_SMART_WKUP/MSTANDBY_SMART_WKUP programming
be considered as 'idlemode' programming or 'enwakeup' programming.
If you consider these are being part of 'enwakeup' progrmming, these should
certainly be handled as part of _enable_wakeup() and _disable_wakeup().

Today, in some cases, these are *also* handled as part of _enable_sysc()
and _idle_sysc(). The way _enable_wakeup() is invoked from _enable_sysc()
is also very inconsistent. For instance, for any IP which supports
SYSC_HAS_MIDLEMODE and SYSC_HAS_ENAWAKEUP, we invoke _enable_wakeup()
regardless of the MIDLEMODE programmmed.
While in case of the IP supporting SYSC_HAS_SIDLEMODE, _enable_wakeup() is
invoked only when the SIDLEMODE programmed is SMART or SMART_WKUP.

I understand the cleanups you are suggesting below as part of the movement
of some of these things outside of mach-omap2.
I was more looking at fixing the existing piece so its readable and does
things more consistently.

Rajendra
