Yes true, and I should have rephrased above statement a little better -
its for modules with sysc but with no reg property to supply the base
for the module's SYSCONFIG or SYSSTATUS registers. The commit
6423d6df1440 has the explanation for the hang.

The WARN_ON previously was to throw a eye-catchy print for the case
where hwmods have sysc but no address space defined (is an error
usually, but this is what we run into during the DT conversion of a
device as the hwmod and DTS changes come in through separate topic
branches).  I still think that the sysc check should be before the check
for _HWMOD_NO_MPU_PORT, a module with sysc mandates it has an MPU port.
