So those are basically arbitrary? Something is not clear here.

In the current hwmod design, IP blocks with different interfaces were
intended to be uniquely identified by the hwmod name alone. That is why
omap_hwmod_lookup() only takes a 'name' parameter.

If I understand what you want to do, you wish to change this to uniquely
identify them by a (name, interface version number) tuple.

I don't have a problem with this in theory, but it implies some changes to
the existing model. Specifically:

- we'll need to add an interface version number to the struct omap_hwmod

- we'll need to modify omap_hwmod_lookup() to take an interface version
number

- the "ti,hwmod" DT binding that you proposed earlier will need to include
an interface version number
