I'm pretty sure IP blocks in the "don't even try" category are
necessarily idled. There's no reason they wouldn't be.

The hwmod infrastructure generally tries to access the sysconfig
register located in the IP block address space itself. If you try to
do that with a peripheral that's efused out you'll get a bus error.
