All gates are enabled by default, but this gate shares a common parent
tree down to a pll, so if another leaf-user is disabling their part, this
untracked clock would get disabled as well.

On that note, I remember a sort of CLK_HANDOFF was planned way back
in the past, meaning clock is critical until a driver picks it up, after this the
driver is responsible for it. Did that get any momentum?
