I am not sure what's bad impact to wrong toggle enable-gpios. need check
this,

change exist ones to keep consistenet, all use enable-gpios or power-supply.

This is most like false alarm. But for better read purpose, suggest
write whole group property

assign-clocks
assign-clock-parents
assign-clock-rates

Incase some change order in soc dtsi and forget update here and cause
wrong.

I met similar issue before.

the similar case is clocks and clock-names, should appear in pair at
every where.
