Heh if they are using the same register bits for two separate modules,
then that's a bug for sure :) I think the sidetone module only has the
clock gating bit in the ST_SYSCONFIG.

Some confusion here.. The McBSPi_ICLK is external, it's just shared
between the McBSP and sidetone modules. So the ST_SYSCONFIG gates
internally separately to the sidetone.

The ST_SYSCONFIG is internal to the sidetone module only. Then the
McBSP module has it's own SYSCONFIG register that's internal to the
McBSP module only.
I think the confusion comes from the McBSPi_ICLK naming, that's not
internal to the module(s) in question, it comes from an external
shared source that the SYSCONFIG registers control.
Some SYSCONFIG registers have autoidle features that signal the
source clockdomain too.

I think it's more like this for the clocking and
intermodule lines:
clockdomain
clock generarator ---+
subcore |
+- McBSP
| internal gating
| and signaling to
| clockdomain via
| SYSCONFIG register
| | |
| | | intermodule lines
| | | not on the interconnect
| | |
+- sidetone
| internal gating
| (and signaling to
| clockdomain via
| SYSCONFIG register?)
Then all these modules just sit on the L4 interconnet at
separate targets, including the clockdomain.
