Yea, we could extend this in case we make DC9 a power well.

This is an experimental functionality and have device wide effects (at
least display wide), so I wouldn't be surprised if we can make a good
use of a more fine grained control here.

Just not enabling DC5/6 ever in gen9_dc_off_power_well_disable(). The
idea would be to test if some failure is caused by DC5 for example.
