That clock hierarchy does not exist for real and the pm_runtime infrastructure can handle that properly. In that case you do have a PM dependency and not necessarily a clock dependency. > The only issue here is sysconf register access at hwmod level, if you > leave sysconf idle and standby configuration at smart state, it works > properly.

In fact with DT, you don't even need an MFD. The DT nodes hierarchy will create the parent-child link automatically. pm_runtime events are taking care of the parent state. It means that if you are enabling a child, the parent will be enabled first automatically by the PM fmwk. This is how the DSS will/was be modified to handle the similar issue you are facing today. I'm not sure that code is upstream yet, but was tested on OMAP5. The only drawback in your case is that the Davinci drivers must be pm_runtime adapted, which might not be the case already :-(.
