Thanks Krzysztof. Will drop this patch in V3.

One more question to understand further. In IPQ SoCs there are bunch of 
coresight / QDSS clocks but coresight framework doesn't handle all 
clocks. Those clocks are enabled in bootloader stage itself. In such 
case, should I drop the clocks from both binding and driver or only from 
driver?

Thanks,
Kathiravan.
