Note that on omaps there are actually SoC module specific registers.
And there can be multiple devices within a single target module on
omaps. So the extra dts node and device is justified there.

For other SoCs, the SGX clocks are probably best handled directly
in pvr-drv.c PM runtime functions unless a custom hardware wrapper
with SoC specific registers exists.
