Yeah, that makes sense. Basically, it was trying to disable unused clocks
(see clk_disable_unused) but in order to disable the clocks from the
media BLK_CTL (which I think should be renamed in display BLK_CTL) the
PD need to be on. Since you initially didn't give it any PD, it was trying
to blindly write/read the gate bit and therefore freeze.

I'm trying to make a branch with all the patches for all i.MX8M so I
can keep track of it all. On this branch I've also applied the 
following patchset from Lucas Stach:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg843007.html
but I'm getting the folowing errors:

[   16.690885] imx-pgc imx-pgc-domain.3: failed to power up ADB400
[   16.716839] imx-pgc imx-pgc-domain.3: failed to power up ADB400
[   16.730500] imx-pgc imx-pgc-domain.3: failed to power up ADB400

Lucas, any thoughts?

Maybe it's something related to 8MN.

Will dig further, see what pops out.
