Hmm okay, so what is AM3517 exactly =)?

An OMAP-like SoC, with the same DSS block as on OMAP?

I think this power issue should be asked from some TI HW guy who can
tell us what is going on there. If OMAP3430 requires vdds_dsi power to
power all the pins (and this is still unclear, although it is the
current assumption), then which OMAP variants need the power and which
do not?

Also something related I've been wondering: Different OMAP versions have
different DSS features. Currently we check these features by checking
what OMAP version we're running on.

But there is a readable revision number in the DSS HW blocks, and if
that could be used to choose which features are available, it'd be a
much better solution. TRM doesn't mention these revision numbers. I
wonder if TI has a list of DSS revisions...
