Can you post the output of this command so that I can see how your
clocks are setup:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary

Using your workaround, can you run:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/pm_genpd/pm_genpd_summary

If you see:
   
1e27000.clock-controller: emac  off-0

then genpd is not working like it is supposed to. You should see something
like this for device that are working:
           
1e27000.clock-controller: uart2  on
     /devices/platform/soc at 1c00000/1d0d000.serial        active

I noticed this too when adding the power-domains property to some device
tree nodes. This is part of the reason why I didn't add it everywhere.
I wasn't able to figure out the cause of this yet. As a work around
though, please try removing the power-domains property from the emac
and mdio nodes and use your previous workaround of having an always
enabled clock.
