I was also interpreting it this way. But I can live with simply removing the node. I didn't think about that to be honest. Now I did the following in the devicetree: /delete-node/ &rtc; This works fine but now I get the following message: [ 0.247298] omap_hwmod: rtc: no dt node [ 0.251341] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.256258] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap_hwmod.c:2359 _init.constprop.18+0x414/0x4a8 [ 0.266297] omap_hwmod: rtc: doesn't have mpu register target base [ 0.272733] Modules linked in: [ 0.275994] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.12.0-00008-gadd83f8 #225 [ 0.283687] Hardware name: Generic AM33XX (Flattened Device Tree) [ 0.290080] [<c03112b4>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c030c39c>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [ 0.298143] [<c030c39c>] (show_stack) from [<c0613940>] (dump_stack+0x90/0xa4) [ 0.305678] [<c0613940>] (dump_stack) from [<c0344034>] (__warn+0xec/0x104) [ 0.312937] [<c0344034>] (__warn) from [<c0344084>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x38/0x48) [ 0.320730] [<c0344084>] (warn_slowpath_fmt) from [<c1211d98>] (_init.constprop.18+0x414/0x4a8) [ 0.329774] [<c1211d98>] (_init.constprop.18) from [<c1212334>] (__omap_hwmod_setup_all+0x40/0x100) [ 0.339170] [<c1212334>] (__omap_hwmod_setup_all) from [<c0301f30>] (do_one_initcall+0x40/0x16c) [ 0.348299] [<c0301f30>] (do_one_initcall) from [<c1200de8>] (kernel_init_freeable+0x164/0x200) [ 0.357341] [<c1200de8>] (kernel_init_freeable) from [<c0cd64ec>] (kernel_init+0x8/0x110) [ 0.365853] [<c0cd64ec>] (kernel_init) from [<c0307ef8>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x3c) [ 0.373763] ---[ end trace 2556e9179495fcaf ]--- [ 0.396526] omap_hwmod: debugss: _wait_target_disable failed Beside that it is booting without another modification:) Would it be acceptable to check in _init if a node for the specific module exists and if not set it to _HWMOD_STATE_DISABLED? The check already exists but it will continue with the initialization.
