Yes, we want to turn off the ref clock (& other clocks) during 
aggressive gating.

Yes, PHY rails can be powered off both during the aggressive clk gating 
and runtime suspend. But as the regulator on/off latencies could be 
higher (especially for the shared rail), we were turning them off doing 
it in runtime suspend only (via phy_power_off()).
Now that phy_power_on/off is managing both clocks and regulators, and we 
will really want to turn off the ref clocks during clock gating, there 
is no option but to call phy_power_on/off during aggressive gating.
