On the GPU side, when you cut GX and CX GDSCs, the hardware is off.
Some clock / gdsc logic may be retained, but the GPU itself gets
cut off. Parking the clocks and shuttting down VDD_GX (if exists)
only makes that stronger.

I'm open to both solutions, as long as it can unblock me from
resubmitting the (hopefully) final version of GMU wrapper!
