Srini tells me that if the pcie pipe clocks are enabled after the
phy is powered up things work fine and the halt bit checks work.
So I don't think we need this patch. Probably the drivers are
enabling all their clocks at probe instead of understanding that
the phy is outputting a clock that goes into gcc to be gated and
then back out into their controller and/or phy.

Also, note that these clocks have parents that should be
populated by the phys, but so far we haven't done that. That
should be fixed as well.
