That's true. but it was the only one acceptable way  to enable
Generic clock manipulation PM callbacks for the DT-boot case.
After several unsuccessful attempts the idea to use GPD
was introduced by Kevin there:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/8/643

So, The Keystone 2 Generic PM Controller is just a proxy PM layer here between
device and Generic clock manipulation PM callbacks.
It fills per-device clock list when device is attached to GPD and
ensures that all clocks from that list enabled/disabled when device is
started/stopped.
