Some text has been added to the patch description to describe Koen's test 
results, and the updated patch has been queued for v3.8-rc fixes.  Updated 
patch follows.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP2: am33xx-hwmod: Fix "register offset NULL check"
 bug

am33xx_cm_wait_module_ready() checks if register offset is NULL.

int am33xx_cm_wait_module_ready(u16 inst, s16 cdoffs, u16 clkctrl_offs)
{
	int i = 0;

	if (!clkctrl_offs)
		return 0;

In case of AM33xx, CLKCTRL register offset for different clock domains
are not uniformly placed. An example of this would be the RTC clock
domain with CLKCTRL offset at 0x00.
In such cases the module ready check is skipped which leads to a data
abort during boot-up when RTC registers is accessed.

Remove this check here to avoid checking module readiness for modules
with clkctrl register offset at 0x00.

Koen Kooi notes that this patch fixes a crash on boot with
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_OMAP=y with v3.8-rc5.
