Just took a look,

I now understand the reason for confusion,

#define TI_SCI_MSG_SET_CLOCK_STATE	0x0100
#define TI_SCI_MSG_GET_CLOCK_STATE	0x0101

cops->get_clock = ti_sci_cmd_get_clock;  --> refers to
TI_SCI_MSG_SET_CLOCK_STATE
That's why we are passing the flag from linux for get_clock

Linux is using terminology of get/put.

As Chandru pointed, we don't have to pass flags, cause he is refering
to TI_SCI_MSG_GET_CLOCK_STATE

Below functions passes TI_SCI_MSG_GET_CLOCK_STATE to DM, which is what
we actually want.
cops->is_auto = ti_sci_cmd_clk_is_auto;
cops->is_on = ti_sci_cmd_clk_is_on;
cops->is_off = ti_sci_cmd_clk_is_off;

Which should be safe to call, Chandru can confirm.
