We use the pd to control the NIU node(not on upstream), without a pd or 
fake pd, none of the platform would work.

The version for kernel 4.4 is under internal review, the implementation 
has been modified many times.

I would suggest the managing clocks in pd is a more easy way and don't 
need to spare those thing in two places.
