Unfortunately that would still explode the permutations to almost
one compatible per module especially for types "ti,sysc-omap2" and
"ti,sysc-omap4". And the features and idle modes supported by the
module are all over the place for "ti,sysc-mask", "ti,sysc-midle",
"ti,sysc-sidle" and "ti,syss-mask"..

I was planning to have "ti,sysc-delay-us" only in the driver, but
the same IP needs it set on dm814x while not on omap4 for OTG
for example. I could add SoC specific quirks to the driver
for that one if you prefer that instead?

I do have a patch also I'm testing to use the revision register
value for handling further quirks, but unfortunately that
register is not populated or updated for many modules. And it's
only usable after the module is already configured to accessible :)

That's it, with this binding I've allocated the data from dts
for the tests I've done. So that should allow us to replace the
static data to start with as seen with the following command:

$ git grep -A10 "struct omap_hwmod_class_sysconfig" \
	arch/arm/*hwmod*data*.c
...

So that's to configure a big pile of different module
configurations we currently have as can be seen with:

$ git grep "struct omap_hwmod_class_sysconfig" \
	arch/arm/*hwmod*data*.c | wc -l
194

I'm sure there's still few duplicates there though..

The only pending binding change I'm aware of is the optional
extra clocks, but that still pending and just uses the
standard clock binding.
