Kind of a chicken-egg problem. You could maybe probe the "ti,clkctrl"
driver manually to avoid the issue.
The core clocks get disabled when CCF notices they are not used. You
can't really avoid that with updating aliases / updating the clocks in
hwmod code. And, hwmod basically tries to still use the same registers
through the legacy route, which leads to conflict.

One thing that can be done also is to introduce the clkctrl clocks one
at a time in the data file also, but this is going to be cumbersome, as
you need to keep these three in sync:
- drivers/clk/ti/clk-44xx.c
- arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap_hwmod_44xx_data.c
- arch/arm/boot/dts/omap4.dtsi
... and that per SoC of course.
With the interconnect driver introduction, you should be able to flip
one device at a time from hwmod to interconnect. In this case, all the
clocks are already there, and you just need to modify DT + hwmod data to
do the flip.
