But why? The clock domain information is already present in every hwmod 
nodes for OMAP4.

In fact, neither prm_clkdm not cm_clkdm are valid clock domain on OMAP4 :-(.

I've just realized that you introduced that for 3.5, but this is wrong. 
We should not start adding some fake clock domains just because the fmwk 
is not smart enough to allow a NULL clock domain.

The clkdomain should be optional, at least for clock nodes.
There is no need to enforce the presence of the clock domain in the 
structure. We should remove the warning and test the clkdm attribute 
before de-referencing it inside the clock core code.

This is the only proper fix for that issue for my point of view.

In a period of data size reduction, adding some fake information does 
not seems to be the right approach.
Don't you think so?

Regards,
Benoit


PS: I think we should revert 6ba5a69ee92c29c2ffc814dad6ac61c4cd49090c 
(ARM: OMAP2+: clockdomains: make {prm,cm}_clkdm common) and fix the 
OMAP4 hwmod data.
