Hi Stephen, Bjorn,

Thanks for your comments.

Yes, only for certain GPU_CC these would be updated and that too in case 
the design team suggests. Downstream we would set the value from probe 
itself, or we can pick these from device tree as required and suggested.

This value is used for the number of clock cycles it would wait before 
the GDSCR ACK signals/halting the clock.

I am okay to invert the logic, but I am not sure if they could cause any 
issues to the older targets. They were broken in HW design long back, 
but got fixed in most families of target and most GDSCs.

As mentioned if explicitly they need to be updated, it is best to do 
from the probe.
This was done in SC7180 GPUCC driver.
         /* Configure clk_dis_wait for gpu_cx_gdsc */
         regmap_update_bits(regmap, 0x106c, CLK_DIS_WAIT_MASK,
                                         8 << CLK_DIS_WAIT_SHIFT);


Please let me know if we are okay to add the invert logic.
