Well, things are not so straight on msm. The IP clocks on msm are usually
powered by (or i should rather say, controlled by) the same power domain
that provides the VDD supply to iommu block. This is the behavior on msm8996
atleast that we are testing on right now.
On later SoCs too things don't change drastically.

So, you can't have the block in low power state until you program the
register space
and then power on the block to let it do its magic.
Clocks and power domains are linked, and that's why we add them to the
pm callbacks.

This approach also looks generic to me since the platforms will either have such
a link or they will not have. But, in either case you will have power and clocks
available at the time when you need them.


Thanks & regards
Vivek
