IPQ SoCs dont involve RPM in managing NoC related clocks and

However, these should not be exposed as just clocks and align
with other Qualcomm SoCs that handle these clocks from a
interconnect provider.

Hence include icc provider capability to the gcc node so that
peripherals can use the interconnect facility to enable these
clocks.

If this is all you do to enable interconnect (which is not the case,
as this patch only satisfies the bindings checker, the meaningful
change happens in the previous patch) and nothing explodes, this is
an apparent sign of your driver doing nothing.

The expected reaction to "enabling interconnect" without defining the
required paths for your hardware would be a crash-on-sync_state, as all
unused (from Linux's POV) resources ought to be shut down.

Because you lack sync_state, the interconnects silently retain the state
that they were left in (which is not deterministic), and that's precisely
what we want to avoid.
