Ok, I'll remove it from DT.
I put it in DT because hw-clock-gating is not an OS policy. This is a pure hardware function and is not controlled by software.
I want to control enabling or disabling on different SoCs or boards.
But for power saving, it should be enabled by default except for rtd1295 SoC.
So I would handle this special case of rtd1295 in the driver.

Thanks,
Stanley
