I think, the root cause of the problem isn't this patch - it's just yet 
another side effect
of using deferred probes :). I've taken a look on twl-rtc code and found 
possible error place
static int __init twl_rtc_init(void)
{
     if (twl_class_is_4030()) <------ here,
         rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl4030_rtc_reg_map;
     else
         rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl6030_rtc_reg_map;

     return platform_driver_register(&twl4030rtc_driver);
}
In drivers/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_RTC_LIB)        += rtc/  <------ RTC is placed before I2C
obj-y                += i2c/ media/ <----- and only here I2C bus 
instantiates TWL-core device
and configures twl_priv->twl_id

Thats why it's working on my OMAP4/twl6030 board. Could you check if 
below fix will work on OMAP3:

Unfortunately, I have no OMAP3 HW and can't check it.
