They are not used, if they are just disabled, kernel does not touch
them, so if it is there, the kernel can handle
pm. At least as long as it is not under ti,sysc.
There are probably cleaner solutions for this, but for a CC: stable I
would prefer something less invasive.
I can try a ti-sysc based fix in parallel.

Or at least something related to them.
As said, for the blamed patch I checked only for CM_IDLEST1_CORE
and CM_FCLKEN1_CORE.

Hmm, not very clear what you mean. AFAIK everything below ti-sysc gets
turned off if a disable is in the child node. Explicitly disabling such
stuff in the dtsi and enable it in the board dts sound sane
to me at first glance. I think it is a common pattern. The question is
whether that causes confusion with not ti-sysc stuff. Well, having
status=okay everywhere in the dts should not harm.
But as said for a regression fix some overhaul affecting every device
is out of scope.
