Few questions:
1. Are you mentioning about the following patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-omap-pm.git;a=commit;h=865f0e0b1dd25899fe30eee5c8f1dba420eea177?

Though this patch allows clearing of AutoIdle bit(signified by HWMOD_INIT_NO_IDLE) while remaining in Idle state, it does not allow the reverse, i.e. setting back the AutoIdle bit, while still remaining in Idle state. 

2. Changing the hwmod flags (oh->flags) is acceptable in run-time. Correct?

3. I believe, SysConfig settings have been a tricky area because of different h/w-errata. Instead of looking into particular errata, as and when they come in time to time and explore how to fit them in the framework, would it not be more useful to provide a more generic framework to operate on the SysConfig settings? Of course, as you suggested, the preferred approach would be to absorb the changes in the omap_device/hw-mod layer as much as possible. But unfortunately, that may not be sufficient in all situations.
