I understand your view, but, Handling of interrupts is already in
place even now in mach-omap2. Currently the prm devices are handled by
mach-omap2 and all this does it to prevent hardcoding of irq numbers
within the current code.

Tero has been trying to move PRM/CM stuff to a separate drivers of
thier own. With that there wont be a need for auxdata even. - this
current logic will get merged with that driver - if and when that is
ready. I am not actually adding any driver logic here - just reusing
the logic and providing glue for using dt description instead of
hardcoded logic that the current mach-omap2 driver does.
