Thinking some more on this after hitting send: It may still be wrong
with a 'broken-clkreq' property in the PHY instead of in the controller
(or endpoint).

Could there not be other ways to handle a broken clkreq signal so that
this really should be a decision made by the OS, for example, to disable
L1 substates and clock PM?

Simply leaving the refclk always on in the PHY seems like a bit of a
hack and I'm not even sure that can be considered correct.

Having a property that maps directly to that behaviour has rightly been
rejected, but it seems that simply renaming the flag but keeping it in
the PHY may still not be the right thing to do here.
