True. In this light the pdata callback is much sensible thing to do.
I will look at the DT side of crafting out this.

You mean that not to have separate compatible for the McBSP module's Sidetone
core?
If yes, then it is a valid thing to remove the hwmod data for the sidetone,
like I did in this series.

The only 'benefit' I see with separated driver for McBSP core and Sidetone
core is that the register writes will happen to the cores in separate drivers.

If the McBSP driver creates the device for the sidetone driver, then passing
the needed callbacks and data to it is going to be cleaner. Registering back
the callbacks to McBSP is what need to be figured out, so it is simple and
clean. Either with a callback to McBSP to set the ST callbacks or have the
callback struct used by ST via pdata to have places for the ST to McBSP
callbacks and when the driver loads it is going to set up those.

If I remove the prcm section for the ST hwmod:
[ 87.784820] omap_hwmod: mcbsp2_sidetone: _wait_target_ready failed: -22
[ 87.784851] omap-mcbsp 49022000.mcbsp: use pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() in
driver?

When first try to use the audio.
So the hwmod code at least was checking the idlest bit.

OK. I will go with the assumption that the sidetone hwmod can be removed (as
it is not correct) and rework my current series to use pdata callback for the
iclk autogate allow/deny. With this set the ST will be operational in legacy
and DT boot.

How this sounds?
