I experimented with it a while back[1] (in this case w/ lk lighting up
the display).  In that case I needed both the clk and gdsc code to
realize that clks/gdsc's were on at boot, and fixup the refcnt of the
clks (and parent clocks and so on).  And then when probed the display
driver would check if clocks were enabled to decide to readback the
state from the hw.  (Maybe you can short-circuit some of that if you
only care about DSI panels with a single fixed resolution, but as soon
as external displays come into the picture you can't assume so much
about the hw  state.)
