Resolve this kernel boot message:
omap_hwmod: mcpdm: cannot be enabled for reset (3)
It appears that the McPDM on OMAP4 can only receive its functional
clock from an off-chip source. This source is not guaranteed to be
present on the board, and when present, it is controlled by I2C. This
would introduce a board dependency to the early hwmod code which it
was not designed to handle. Also, neither the driver for this
off-chip clock provider nor the I2C code is available early in boot
when the hwmod code is attempting to enable and reset IP blocks. This
effectively makes it impossible to enable and reset this device during
hwmod init.
At its core, this patch is a workaround for an OMAP hardware problem.
It should be possible to configure the OMAP to provide any IP block's
functional clock from an on-chip source. (This is true for almost
every IP block on the chip. As far as I know, McPDM is the only
exception.) If the kernel cannot reset and configure IP blocks, it
cannot guarantee a sane SoC state. Relying on an optional off-chip
clock also creates a board dependency which is beyond the scope of the
early hwmod code.
And I guess, that's a good reason as well to let the driver managing the
reset during the probe for such IPs.
This patch works around the issue by marking the McPDM hwmod record
with the HWMOD_EXT_OPT_MAIN_CLK flag. This prevents the hwmod
code from touching the device early during boot.

Nit: Is it not suspected, it is a fact. The clock tree clearly indicate
that the mcpdm fclk is generated from the pad_clks.
The IP is a custom link for the Audio IC control / data. using the Audio
IC as a source clock is standard. Since that IP is done only for that
purpose, there is no optional clock path from the PRCM like it is the

I do not think this is the right place to put some complaint about the

Could you please update the hints for this IP in the autogen scripts?
I added a comment attribute to add a custom comment on top of the flags
entry.
The latest branch is "omap5430_for_3.6".
Thanks,
Benoit
