I am confused about "not setting CEC_32K_PDN" part,
in case mtk_cec_mask(cec, CEC_CKGEN, 0 | CEC_32K_PDN, PDN | CEC_32K_PDN);
CEC_32K_PDN (BIT(19)) is set.

for exmaple:
CEC_32K_PDN is BIT(19)
PDN is BIT(16)
say tmp = 0xffffffff;

mask = PDN | CEC_32K_PDN;
val = 0 | CEC_32K_PDN;

tmp = fff6ffff, mask = 90000
val = 80000, tmp = fffeffff

u32 tmp = readl(cec->regs + offset) & ~mask; // tmp = fff6ffff
tmp |= val & mask; // tmp = fffeffff
writel(val, cec->regs + offset); // val = 80000, tmp = fffeffff

in both val and tmp case, CEC_32K_PDN is set.

I will add the Fixes tag, thanks.
