Ok, good to know that this solution works. Anyone has any other thoughts on whats the best
way to fix this for the -rcs? (Note that we have bootup broken on all OMAPs with DEBUG_LL
for now, atleast for all DT only platforms)

The other option of course is to use the patch posted by Felipe [1], thought that had issues
handling processor IPs as pointed out by Grygorii and Suman [2], the fix I posted [3] to make
omap_device aware of hwmod bypassing these IPs might fix some of those, but this solution in
general would need more testing as it affects all modules on the bus.
