Yeah, I saw it a bit later in Javier's reply.  Thanks for doing the
research and reporting back.

I dont' know much about this clock hardware, but to me it sounds like a
clock driver bug.  The suspend fix Javier is proposing would fix it, but
to me it sounds like the clock driver needs to actually start checking
these CG_STATUSx bits before gating clocks.

Otherwise, we might fix this current bug but a similar one will come and
bite us another day.
