Roger, if the modules don't have sysconfig registers, care to check
if we actually really need hwmod for those modules then?

I know hwmod is managing runtime PM gate clocks for devices with
clkctrl_offs. But if that's all we need hwmod for in the non-sysc
cases, then it might make sense to manage the gate clocks in the
clock framework directly instead for those devices.

Of course that's more of a long term project, but at least we should
be aware of the dependencies here :)

Yeah that sounds like a separate patch.
