Yes, the Exynos manual is not that clear about what clocks have to remain
enabled during a power domain switch for an IP block so maybe I got wrong.

I see that the MFC block has an async-bridge in "Figure 15-1" at section 
"15.2.1 NoC Probes in 5420 Bus". And I thought that since the IP block
has an async-bridge, the clock needs to remain ungated when the PMU turn
it on and off on a power domain switch.

I chose that clock because "Figure 7-10 MFC Clock Diagram" at section
"7.4.7 MFC Clock Diagram" shows that ACLK_333 is associated with the
MFC internal buses, or at least that's my understanding.
