Well, it is true that in the case of the DSS the modulemode is only
managing the interface clock. And since the interface clock is doing
autogating, it will not prevent clockdomain transition.
But I will not recommend using that, it should not be useful assuming
the clocks are properly managed by the DSS.
I think we still have issue dur to the presence of that fake modulemode
clock node.
