IIUC, this was done to avoid any transitions if the bootloader like U-Boot
has turned on the resource and OS can just rely on that stay. Anyways if
the resource is not used by any driver/device in the kernel, won't it be
turned off anyways ? What am I missing ?

I need to dig details, but I remember doing what this patch does and
reverting to what we have based on the feedback IIRC.
