Certainly looks much simpler, but it adds quite a bit of data to the
omap_hwmod struct, and we have a _lot_ of them for omap2plus configuration.

ls -al vmlinux

w/o any the lockdep warning fixes:
110109168

With my series applied:
110112031 (base + 2863)

With setting individual lockdep class:
110114275 (base + 5107)

I certainly like the lockdep_set_class() way since it is cleaner, but it adds
almost double amount of bytes to the kernel.
I'll test the patch on my board tomorrow as first thing.
