Since the GDSC flag has been changed to HW_CTRL_TRIGGER, the v4 core needs to use
dev_pm_genpd_set_hwmode to switch the GDSC mode like v6. The video codec has
been verified on SC7180 and the result is OK. The same verification has been done on
the latest QCS615 and the result is also OK.
In addition, since the videocc of QCS615 uses the HW_CTRL_TRIGGER flag, QCS615 and
SC7180 both use the v4 core in venus. So the v4 core needs to use
dev_pm_genpd_set_hwmode to switch the GDSC mode like v6.
