The R40 manual does include it in the diagram, on page 504. There's also a
mux to select whether the clock comes directly from the CCU or the TV encoder
(a feedback mode?). I assume this is the gate you are referring to here, in
which case it is not a bus clock, but rather the TCON module or channel clock,
strangely routed.

If what I said above it true, then yes, the appropriate location to enable it
is the TCON driver, but moreover, the representation of the clock tree should
be fixed such that the TCON takes the clock from the TCON TOP as its channel/
module clock instead. That way you don't need this patch, but you'd add another
for all the clock routing.
