Technically yes, this is required during module enable/disable sequence.
But there is no way currently supported in hwmod layer. Also I am not
quite sure how many other modules/devices may use this.
Couple of more examples I have here,
In case of AM3517 we have similar SoC integration, where VPFE, MAC and
USB required clock control (handled by clock-tree) and interrupt status
(handled by callbacks) from control module.
So not sure whether we can get rid of callbacks until we have control
module MFD driver (on which Konstantin is working on)
