Yeah no idea about the hwmod change needed for DSS.. Maybe patch it in
only in the no "ti,hwmods" path?

For the rest, how about the following for getting things patched with
a minimal patching needed to revert in case of regressions:

1. Let's add the clkctrl driver and it's dts clocks. Let's tag the
   new clkctrl clocks with status = "disabled" and not add the
   consumers into any existing devices

2. Let's modify the dts files to add the hwmod related items for the
   wrapper IP module but let's keep things probing the old way using
   compatible = "simple-bus" for now

3. Let's add the wrapper IP driver and make sure it does nothing
   except probe the children just like "simple-bus" currently does if
   the child module has the "ti,hwmods" property set

4. Then we can finally start flipping things over one module at a
   time just by removing "ti,hwmods" for the child device and
   status = "disabled" for the related module clock

Regards,

Tony
