I was thinking clocks in the powerdomain still needs to be turned
on explicitly, these are branch clocks, irrespective of the PLLs.
Putting the gdsc in hw_ctrl, only makes the polling on their status
invalid. Anyways would be good to be aligned on this.

ok, i will reword the commit log better as above.

So i understand its ok to continue with this way of checking ?
since we are always having a static association which never changes,
than introducing additional fields in the clk_branch which can
get the status of the gdsc.
