We should treat it as missing device (bug) rather than new device (feature) as the corresponding device tree node is already present.
Without this patch we get the following message in kernel boot log

[    0.261680] platform 4a090000.ocp2scp: Cannot lookup hwmod 'ocp2scp3'

I would consider this patch as a fix rather than a new feature.

cheers,
-roger
