Hmm it could be that it works for a while because the clocks are on
from the bootloader and pm_runtime calls won't do anything. This
could happen if the interconnect data based on the ti,hwmods entry
is not getting matched to the new driver. This gets initialized when
the device entry gets created in omap_device_build_from_dt().

Or maybe something now affects the clock aliases? It seems that we
are still missing the clocks entries in the .dtsi files, see the
mappings with $ git grep uart drivers/clk/ti/

No change with that :)
