But the model is already different for OMAP4. Since the clkdm is 
associated with the hwmod, we already ensure that the clkdm is properly 
enabled before enabling the modulemode.
In fact the clkdm associated with the fake modulemode clk node was 
already useless for OMAP4 as soon as we had introduced the modulemode 
support in hwmod.

The only need for that today is for the few broken drivers that does use 
the clock fmwk to enable the modulemode instead of using pm_runtime.

Yeah, I'm just reluctant to add some more data in an already big file, 
knowing that this information will be useless, just because a couple of 
broken drivers does need that.

What we plan to do with the migration to CCF is to keep these specific 
nodes only for the broken drivers to highlight that these ones need to 
be fixed. And thus only these nodes will need the clkdm information.

Benoit
