Any user of the devicetree sees that there is a parent and the parent needs
to be enabled by some mechanism.
E.g. I2c devices do not specify the clocks of the parent (the i2c master)

Maybe it is just more fine-grained on omap.

look e.g. at ti/omap/omap4-l4.dtsi
there are target-module@xxxx
with the devices as a child and a clock in the parent.
