Looks OK to me, some comments regarding runtime PM though for future patching
though.

Eventually we may want to handle this in drivers/bus/ti-sysc.c so it gets toggled
based on runtime PM. The PRUSS sysc register seems to be just a new variant of
sysc_regbits_omap4_simple with the standby and status bits added.

If using runtime PM for the PRUSS instance is not suitable for managing the
standby and status bits, then some comments should be added describing why
finer grained control is needed for these bits beyond runtime PM.

As far as I'm concerned, these can be done in separate changes, no need to update
this patch.

Regards,

Tony
