On the Timesys BSP, the kernel is fiddling around with this registers
too, and AFAIK MQX is working with that kernel. Is MQX really using the
GPC and SRC modules? I thought MQX is just relying on Linux taking care
of that.

Also, you have this problem with other registers as well, for instance
the CCM module. In fact, to get into deeper sleep modes, you need to
access the GPC (global power controller) as well as the CCM (clock
controller module, for instance the CCM_CLPCR register). When you look
at all the entry sequences, they all fiddling around with the GPC and
the CCM. And I don't think that the kernel can work properly without
having control over the clock module.

IMHO, the SRC and GPC are like the CCM, and need to be under control of
Linux exclusively.

Another case is the SRAM. There are other peripherals which are much
more important, e.g. both instances of the EDMA modules are currently
unconditional part of the device tree.

Besides, afaik you can also use status = "disabled" in a device tree
including the vf610.dtsi. The device tree is parsed sequential, the last
settings wins.
