>
> A later change will use the FE debug registers to improve GPU
> progress monitoring. Instead of having to keep track of the
> usage state of the debug registers and lock access to the
> VIVS_HI_CLOCK_CONTROL register, statically enable debug
> register access during GPU init.
>
> The Vivante downstream driver seems to do the same thing since
> a while, so it should be okay to keep access enabled. (See
> gckHARDWARE_InitializeHardware in 6.4.11 downstream driver).
>
> Many debug registers contain bogus data if clock gating is
> enabled, so even if they are always accessible performance
> profiling still needs to manage some prerequisites.
