CAN_SWSUP controls software wakeup / sleep (clktrctrl values 1 and 2),
but it still allows hwsup based transitions during runtime (basically
using values 0 & 3 for the same register.) NO_MANUAL_TRANS prevents
both, but still allows hwauto mode being enabled in the first place.

I was thinking about adding a flag for preventing the autodep disabling
as this was the root cause for the problem I saw, but I wanted to
optimize the _clkdm_clk_hwmod_enable/disable for this case, as the
domain is not going through any transitions.
