It is up to Tero if he want to keep omap2_clk_allow/deny_idle() only be usable
for built in code. It is there just because of OMAP3 McBSP2/3 sidetone support
on the other hand. It is a fair assumption that it could be used by the driver.

You mean something like:
int omap3_mcbsp23_ick_for_sidetone_force(struct clk *clk, bool force_on)
{
if (!clk)
return 0;

if (force_on)
return omap2_clk_deny_idle(clk);
else
return omap2_clk_allow_idle(clk);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(omap3_mcbsp23_ick_for_sidetone_force);

Looks similarly hackish as with the pdata callback, but if I were to choose,
the pdata callback might be a bit more polite hack if we do not look at how we
will have the pdata crafted for DT boot.

If we were to split the McBSP driver into half - not literally as the ST
support has small amount of code right now, we would consider all possibility
to not introduce regression and keep things working along the way. There will
be a point were the code need to be shuffled..

To start with the hwmod data is wrong for mcbsp2/3 mcbsp2/3_sidetone:
static struct omap_hwmod omap3xxx_mcbsp2_hwmod = {
.name = "mcbsp2",
.class = &omap3xxx_mcbsp_hwmod_class,
.mpu_irqs = omap3xxx_mcbsp2_irqs,
.sdma_reqs = omap2_mcbsp2_sdma_reqs,
.main_clk = "mcbsp2_fck",
.prcm = {
.omap2 = {
.prcm_reg_id = 1,
.module_bit = OMAP3430_EN_MCBSP2_SHIFT,
.module_offs = OMAP3430_PER_MOD,
.idlest_reg_id = 1,
.idlest_idle_bit = OMAP3430_ST_MCBSP2_SHIFT,
},
},
.opt_clks = mcbsp234_opt_clks,
.opt_clks_cnt = ARRAY_SIZE(mcbsp234_opt_clks),
.dev_attr = &omap34xx_mcbsp2_dev_attr,
};

static struct omap_hwmod omap3xxx_mcbsp2_sidetone_hwmod = {
.name = "mcbsp2_sidetone",
.class = &omap3xxx_mcbsp_sidetone_hwmod_class,
.mpu_irqs = omap3xxx_mcbsp2_sidetone_irqs,
.main_clk = "mcbsp2_fck",
.prcm = {
.omap2 = {
.prcm_reg_id = 1,
.module_bit = OMAP3430_EN_MCBSP2_SHIFT,
.module_offs = OMAP3430_PER_MOD,
.idlest_reg_id = 1,
.idlest_idle_bit = OMAP3430_ST_MCBSP2_SHIFT,
},
},
};

The McBSP2_ST main_clk is mcbsp2_ick, not mcbsp2_fck (ch 21.3.2.2.6 in
OMAP36xx TRM).
The sidetone should not have prcm section at all as it does not have control
over it's clocks in that level. Giving the same PRCM registers and bits for
both McBSP and it's sidetone is wrong. What should be expected if McBSP is
enabled and we disable the ST via pm_runtime? Will the hwmod toggle bits in
PRCM? If it does, the McBSP will looses it's clocks...

While the McBSP and ST regions are different, the ST is part of the McBSP from
PRCM point of view so not sure how this could be worked around with separated
drivers.
