Initially, it was meant to support custom kernels which had TI SRF PM
(aka OMAP_PM_SRF), at some point it should have been migrated to
OMAP_PM_NOOP but this didn't happen, according to the documentation
OMAP_PM_NOOP is meant to be temporary, but I don't know its current
status.

Yes, this dependency is wrong... but node.c and proc.c could use a cleanup too.

Please let me know if you want to work on these or would be happy with
a Reported-by.
