Suggest:

Currently the driver provides a function called 
geni_serial_resources_off() to turn off resources like clocks and 
pinctrl. We don't have a function to control clocks separately hence, 
export the function geni_se_clks_off() to turn off clocks separately 
without disturbing GPIO.

Client drivers like I2C require this function for use-cases where the 
I2C SE is shared between two subsystems.

Does it make sense to have geni_se_clks_off() exported without having 
geni_se_clks_on() similarly exported ?

Two exported functions already appear to wrapper this functionality for you.

geni_se_resources_off -> gensi_se_clks_off
geni_se_resources_on -> gensi_se_clks_on

Seems like a usage violation to have geni_se_resources_on() switch the 
clocks on but then have something else directly call gensi_se_clks_off() 
without going through geni_se_resources_off();

?
