Right look forget about that.

- DT requires you to describe your hardware. You're not entitled to have
   some other device vote for a clock or a PD you rely on.

   That's exactly the type of downstream short cut we are trying to zap.

- In our case we also need to vote on PDs individually when the PHY
   is active.

In extremis say we are only running the TPG then we have no reason to 
vote for CSIPHY specific rails or operating points in the parent device.

We could make the parent power-domain argument for CAMSS and CCI but we 
have TITAN_TOP_GDSC in CCI specifically because we have to model the 
hardware - including the PDs for that device.

If tomorrow we put CCI as a sub-device of top-level CAMSS, that won't 
negate the need to include that GDSC.
