I checked this with Taniya offline, but she prefers only fixing it in ipq6018.dtsi as it doesn't hurt anything by adding the property, and she expects the GDSC support should be existing in most of qcom,gcc drivers especially the newer Qcom chipsets.

Before we start changing anything, we should assess whether these
platforms actually have GDSCs within this clock controller block,
even if they are (currently) not described in the clk driver.
