Mark, please drop this patch for the time being, until the SoC integration 
issues can be sorted out first.  It's best to wait a little while before 
applying patches like these so folks have a chance to comment on their 
correctness first.

We used to handle this problem in the OMAP hwmod SoC integration layer 
with a flag that forced the interface clock to stay active as long as the 
underlying IP blocks were active.  However I can't find that flag right 
now in the current data, so maybe it got accidentally or inadvertently 
removed at some point in time in the past.  The right way to fix this 
would be to add that flag back in, rather than messing with the SoC 
integration registers from the McBSP drivers.


thanks
