The ADB is apparently clocked by one of the BLK_CTL clocks, so the ADB
handshake ack will only work when the BLK_CTL clocks are enabled. So I
guess the GPC driver should enable those clocks and assert the resets
at the right time in the power-up sequencing. Unfortunately this means
we can't properly put the BLK_CTL driver in the power-domain without
having a cyclic dependency in the DT. I'm still thinking about how to
solve this properly.
