Right, I understand it's not proper either by HW or SW point of view to just
use root clk gate.

I see the GPU_REF_CTRL register 13:8 is a divisor, is this for all
"gpu"/"gpu_pp0"/"gpu_pp1" clk rating? If so, can we use it to dynamically
change the GPU clk freq because other SoC also use system clock
to do GPU DVFS, see sun8i-h3.dtsi. If we can't then zynqmp won't finish
lima_devfreq_init() and get here at all because it does not have
an OPP table.
