Hmm, reflecting on this further, is your intention to bind drivers to
hwmods by the struct omap_hwmod_class instead?
If we define that "rev" field as the interface version number, that should
probably work.
So then in C struct format, in a platform_device system, the mapping table
would basically become
struct omap_hwmod_driver_map {
const char *class_name;
const u32 class_rev;
const char *platform_device_name;
}
