Oh I see, with the current code and this device tree we actually only
enable the first clock... But it seems to work in practice...

What is interesting, the chapter 5.2.5 System Clocks only describes
APBHDMA, and no GPMI module.

Chapter 9.4 about APBH-Bridge-DMA bridge only specifies "hclk" as clock
sources.

When looking at the table in chapter 5.2.5, hclk is
NAND_USDHC_BUS_CLK_ROOT

Module    Syste Module Clock   Clock Root
APBHDMA   apbhdma.hclk         NAND_USDHC_BUS_CLK_ROOT
 
So my guess is that the actual DMA controller should work fine with
IMX7D_NAND_USDHC_BUS_ROOT_CLK only. It is only the GPMI module which
needs the NAND_ROOT_CLK. My guess is since the APBHDMA controller is
only used for GPMI these days, it has been combined in one module in the
table in chapter 5.2.5.

So we could actually only specify:

clocks = <&clks IMX7D_NAND_USDHC_BUS_ROOT_CLK>;

Tested with this and NAND seems to work fine.

Also tested accessing APBHDMA register in U-Boot with
IMX7D_NAND_ROOT_CLK disabled, it worked fine.

What do you think? Should we go with this?

This probably even saves power since GPMI's runtime clock management
disables IMX7D_NAND_ROOT_CLK when NAND is idle (according to the
nand_root_clk counter in clk_summary and the root clock register at
0x3038AA00).
