I'm not aware of any API that would fit in this case. Power domains
would be misleading because power management isn't involved. One other
alternative that I had thought about is to make it a "virtual" reset,
but that is equally misleading because nothing is really being reset
here.

Yet another option might be to make it a "virtual" clock, though it'd
have to be somewhat hacky because we need two steps (one to enable HW
control and another to start the HW sequencer). That could be
implemented using ->prepare() and ->enable(), respectively, but it's
really not a clock either.

I welcome any ideas on how to turn this into something generic, though.
