correction: it is not the clocks that are broken. it is the device names.

In  arch/arm/mach-davinci/da8xx-dt.c, we have...


	OF_DEV_AUXDATA("ti,da850-ehrpwm", 0x01f00000, "ehrpwm", NULL),
	OF_DEV_AUXDATA("ti,da850-ehrpwm", 0x01f02000, "ehrpwm", NULL),
	OF_DEV_AUXDATA("ti,da850-ecap", 0x01f06000, "ecap", NULL),
	OF_DEV_AUXDATA("ti,da850-ecap", 0x01f07000, "ecap", NULL),
	OF_DEV_AUXDATA("ti,da850-ecap", 0x01f08000, "ecap", NULL),


Which causes each device to have the same device node name. This causes 
sysfs errors because it is trying to register a second device at the 
same sysfs path.

If you change the names here, then the device do not work because the 
clock lookup fails.
