out of curiosity again, nothing to do with this patch.

Maybe it would be nicer to have an api such as:

omap2_get_device(name);

there are already four devices to be gotten, if that number grows any
bigger, so will the number of helper functions.
I agree, in fact, on a different topic, I hit the same requirement
here is the patch I had done:

Subject: [PATCH] OMAP: hwmod: add omap_hwmod_to_device

omap_hwmod_to_device is useful for drivers when they need to
look up the device associated with a hwmod name to map back
into the device structure pointers. These ideally should
be used by drivers in mach directory. This could in effect
replace apis such as omap2_get_mpuss_device,
omap2_get_iva_device, omap2_get_l3_device, omap4_get_dsp_device
etc..

I'd rather put that code inside the omap_device.c instead of here.
The omap_device layer is on top of the omap_hwmod.
In order to minimize the dependencies from the low HW description layer to the omap_device layer, you should maybe define a omap_device_from_hwmod() function or something similar.

That being said, do we really need to get the device from the hwmod name? Cannot we use the device name instead?
I do not know all the usecases, that why I'm asking.

Regards,
Benoit
