It's certainly possible that we as maintainers didn't look closely enough 
at the AM33xx data for the PWMSS when we merged it.  But if that's 
incorrect too, then now is the time to fix this.  Otherwise it will never 
get fixed, since each new group of people patching this code will keep 
punting it off to the indeterminate future.

In terms of hwmod data: based on the register maps in sections 29.4.3, 
29.3.3, and 29.2.3 of SPRUHZ6, none of these subdevices are hwmod devices.  
They don't support the Highlander OCP registers, they have no individual 
PRCM registers or register bitfields, and all of the idle and status 
reporting is to the PWMSS top-level IP block itself.  So it looks to me 
like the eCAP, eQEP, and ePWM modules should be registered via DT, rather 
than via hwmod.  It looks like you can get away with using the 
"simple-bus" abstraction, but you might ultimately have to define 
something custom here.  However, the PWMSS top level subsystem, described 
in section 29.1, does have the OCP registers, sideband signals, etc., and 
thus should remain a hwmod-registered device (via DT).

In terms of the clock data: based on section 29.1.4, section 29.1.5.2, 
figure 29-3, and table 29-4, there are several clock gating control bits.  
These should be modeled as clock nodes in the Linux common clock 
framework.  Furthermore these registers are located inside the PWMSS 
subsystem itself, and are only accessible when the PWMSS IP block is 
functional in a PM runtime point of view: i.e., when the block is mapped 
into memory space, clocked and out of reset, etc.  So the clock types for 
the PWMSS_CFG IP block should most likely be implemented in the PWMSS 
driver.  I think you'll still be able to define the clock node data itself 
in DT, but this will probably need a closer look.  Ideally, since the 
clock node register address data is the same for all three subsystem 
instances, one would be able to simply include a DT include file three 
times; but the DT binding data format may ultimately make this 
impractical.

In terms of the transition from the old approach to this approach, it ooks 
to me like the first thing to do would be to convert
drivers/pwm/pwm-tipwmss.c to define some clk_ops and register some clock
nodes with the CCF.  You've got the meat of the clock gating control code
there already.  Then the next thing to do would be to to get rid of
pwmss_submodule_state_change() and use
clk_{prepare,enable,disable,unprepare}*() in the drivers/pwm/pwm-ti*.c
subdrivers instead.  All of that looks like it should be possible to  
implement in a backwards-compatible way.  Then you'd convert the eCAP, 
eQEP, and ePWM code to probe as platform_devices, driven from a simple-bus 
or pwmss-bus or whatever in the DT data.  Naturally, the AM33xx/43xx data 
should be fixed also.
