But those clocks are fed into UHH and TLL respectively, not EHCI/OHCI,
right ? IOW, EHCI/OHCI only need those clocks to be stable in order for
it to work.

I'm trying to think of a way to decouple that but nothing comes to mind
right now... Ideally, calling pm_runtime_get_sync() on EHCI/OHCI would
make all clocks enabled and the only way I see for that to happen is to
make TLL parent of UHH which is parent of EHCI/OHCI, but I'm not sure
that makes a lot of sense.

Paul, do you have any tip which we could use ? What we need is to be
able to call pm_runtime_get_sync() or ehci-omap.c and that should enable
UHH clocks and if (port->mode == TLL) enable TLL clocks.

We still want to split UHH and TLL into separate drivers.
