I don't think the flow-controller controls this gate. The usual way of
clockgating a core is to execute a WFI instruction. That will trigger
clockgating the core, unless the flow-controller has been programmed to do
something else. The flow-controller will ungate the clock when there is an
interrupt.

The clock definition seems to exist in HW yes, the corresponding resetbit
however is marked as 'reserved' in the Tegra114 documentation.
