Yes so it seems. Enabling OMAP3_THERMAL adds support to
of_ti_bandgap_match[] for omap3 and causes the issue.

Probably. But we don't have off mode working for omap4, and
it cannot be used for omap5 AFAIK.

My guess is we need to call clk_disable() and call
ti_bandgap_save_ctxt() on CPU_CLUSTER_PM_ENTER similar to
what ti_bandgap_suspend does. And then restore it on
CPU_CLUSTER_PM_EXIT.

There's a similar example already in gpio_omap_cpu_notifier().
Not sure if there is some related errata to deal with too,
probably the old Nokia n900 or n9 would provide some hints
on what exactly needs to be done.
