They don't need to be dropped. Taking the iMX8MM Lite variante as example (it
also doesn't have VPU), the nodes are there and this issue is not present.

While fixing VPU blk-ctrl suspend/resume functionality, I received feedback that
this VPU GPC dependency is incorrect and is up to VPU blk-ctrl to control the
GPC domains.
As we disable the VPU blk-ctrl node on the bootloader, removing the dependency
solves the issue.
