...but why does this happen *only* on MT8183 and not on any other MediaTek SoC?

I understand what you're trying to solve here, but if we explore a bit more, we
can maybe come to the conclusion that we don't need to add this flag, and perhaps
just enable PM runtime as regular flow for all clock controllers.

That would also be cleaner, to some extent.

Cheers,
Angelo
