Not sure what version of the TRM you have, latest (Rev. E) has this
register as Table 5-636.. but I found it and see your point here.

This looks to only be a problem in AM65x, all later devices we have fixed
the issue and now group the clock enable bits all together.

Do we actually expect this to be an issue and have a user of these
other bits? If so then we modeled this region wrong in AM65x DT, these
registers are not "tbclk gate registers" any more then they are to the
other functions they provide. These registers should be a syscon node
and then each function within should be a child node.

syscon@4140 {
	compatible = "ti,am654-epwm-crtl", "syscon";
	reg = <0x4140 0x18>;

	ehrpwm_tbclk: clock {
		compatible = "ti,am654-ehrpwm-tbclk";
		#clock-cells = <1>;
	};

	pwm_mux: mux-controller {
		compatible = "mmio-mux";
		#mux-control-cells = <1>;
	};
};

Something like that. That way we do not give preference to one device
and have to have it give out shared registers.

Either that or split the binding compatible, one for AM65x with syscon
and one for all later device compatibles that do not share the register:

compatible:
    oneOf:
      - items:
          - const: ti,am654-ehrpwm-tbclk
          - const: syscon
      - items:
        - enum:
          - ti,am64-epwm-tbclk
          - ti,am62-epwm-tbclk

Would rather the first option.
