The problem is because there is no reference counting on modulemode
programming unlike clocks or omap_device pm_domain callbacks. The IOMMU
driver already has an active pm_runtime_get() invoked earlier and
invoking another wouldn't result in any change.

The remoteproc driver is only dealing with its resets and hwmod while
the IOMMU driver is dealing with its dedicated reset. The PRCM registers
though are a single set between the two.
