I checked the DA830 TRM and looks like TBCLK for eHRPWM is an always on clock
there. So, the only difference in AM335x is an additional enable bit.

Instead of adding this as opt_clk in hwmod, we could add an always on clock node
in Davinci clock data and have the driver always do a clk_enable() on the tbclk
as part of the probe sequence. On AM335x, with the right clock node this will enable
the clock in hardware and on DA830 it turns into a NOP. This way we can avoid adding
the opt_clk entry in hwmod of eHRPWM.

So once all OMAP drivers get converted to DT, will there be no notion of
latency based activate/deactivate functions? Or will it get used in a different
manner?
