I guess this should not be needed anymore since now the whole PM runtime 
stuff is handled using pm_domain.

int omap_device_register(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
	pr_debug("omap_device: %s: registering\n", pdev->name);

	pdev->dev.parent = &omap_device_parent;
	pdev->dev.pm_domain = &omap_device_pm_domain;
	return platform_device_add(pdev);
}


Kevin,

Do we still need to set the dev.parent to omap_device_parent?
I guess the default &platform_bus parent is good enough and potentially 
the DSS children should be able to overwrite that.

You can, the only issue if you create a regular platform device is that 
you will miss the automatic pm_runtime support along with the hwmod 
device creation mechanism + clock / PM.

I think we can add an extra parameter to allow changing the omap_device 
parent during omap_device_build.
