Okay great, please post that to the list so we can diff it against the 
version that I did, and also so we can queue it for merging in 3.6?

Shouldn't those clocks use clkops_null then?

Well because of this CLKDIV32K snafu, we'll need to keep the clock 
framework-based clockdomain control for AM33xx, at the very least for 
the CLKDIV32K clock.

I'd suggest starting with specifying a clockdomain name for each clock.  
If nothing else, this should help think through the power management 
behavior for each clock.  Then those can be easily removed later with a 
simple grep.

Basically, yes.  To be more precise, in cases where 
modules have multiple functional clocks, hwmod_data.main_clk is the 
functional clock that is needed in order for register reads and writes to 
the IP block to succeed.

Hmmm, could you explain this further?

Every ocp_if structure that you create should have an interface clock 
specified.  And almost all of your hwmods should have a main_clk 
specified.
