In the mdio case - the problem is that devm_clk_get() doesn't fail,

Right. This is because devm_clk_get() now finds the clock via device
tree instead of a clkdev lookup entry. However, I think that the PM
notifier registered in arch/arm/mach-davinci/pm_domain.c only uses
the clkdev lookup to match the con_id and does not use device tree.
The same thing is happing in mdio, emac and lcdc.


Minor correction: It looks like emac doesn't do this because it doesn't
have a con_id of "fck". But, the same clock is shared by emac and mdio, so
since mdio enables the clock, emac doesn't notice or care that it did
not enable the clock itself.

How about using pm_clk_add_clk() in these drivers to explicitly use the
clocks for power management instead of relying on pm_clk_add_notifier()
to do this implicitly?
