The power domain controller references vppsys*, vdecsys*, vdosys*, wpesys,
imgsys and camsys. I'd argue that this makes these clock drivers
semi-boot-critical. Maybe mfgcfg as well when we add the GPU?

They should be bundled together at the very least. The power domain
controller not probing disables all display and multimedia capabilities.

Also wondering if we should have "default COMMON_CLK_MT8195" ...

I suppose the same questions apply to other SoCs.
