Might be worth checking. If these blocks have the revision and SYSC
register in the beginning of their address space like all omap modules,
then they are completely separate blocks and can idle independently.

The fact that they have separate interrutps makes me think that's the
case, otherwise there would be just interrupt(s) at the ssi-controllel
level.
