==> Hi Greg,
Yes, previously Yenchia Chen helped to send out a version. Currently,
this solution is specifically for the GB10 project and was made to
support Windows ACPI settings.

In actual application scenarios, the apdma clk will not be turned off
in normal mode. It is only turned off in the SSPM microprocessor after
entering standby, and when resuming, the apdma clk is re-enabled by
SSPM.

As for other Linux projects, apdma still uses the DTS node.

Thanks
