The GPC should not write into the BLK_CTL region via syscon, but
instead use the clocks and resets as exposed by the BLK_CTL driver.
Doing it via syscon is a hack to get things going. The clocks and
resets should properly be hooked up to the GPC domains via the clocks
and resets DT properties.

For the clocks there is one complication: if the clocks are controlled
via BLK_CTL we can only enable them once the domain is powered up,
however the earlier designs using the GPCv2 assert resets as part of
the power up sequence, which needs the clocks to be running for the
reset to propagate. So depending on whether we have a power domain with
a BLK_CTL or not we need to enable the clocks before or after powering
up the domain. I guess we need a new DT property to specify which way
the domain needs to handled.
