Maybe we could have one call to dss_select_dispc_clk_source() in 
omap_dsshw_porbe(). This is not necessary now, but if we support a 
splash screen on bootloader, and skip the hwmod resets, we might want to 
switch back our dispc clock source to PRCM if the output drivers don't 
to it. This is just a point though, we don't necessarily need it right now.
