We've had this discussiona for a couple of other SoCs, so I need to
ask...
Presumably these are not device clocks that a runtime PM enabled driver
should be managing for a device, right? IOW, We want to make sure that the
PM domain isn't managing clocks for drivers that should be doing it.
I understand there are legitimate reasons for the PM domain to manage
clocks in addition to device drivers (e.g. for synchronous reset), but
just want to be sure it's not a shortcut for having a proper driver.
