Thanks Bryan for your review!

In earlier series, venus driver is switching the vcodec GDSC to HW 
control mode before disabling the GDSC by invoking 
vcodec_control_v4(..., false) in poweroff_coreid(). Due to this, the 
subsequent GDSC enable from venus driver is failing while polling for 
GDSC power ON status, since GDSC is under HW control mode and HW can 
keep the GDSC in disabled state.

Now a check is added in poweroff_coreid() to avoid switching the GDSC to 
HW control mode before disabling the GDSC for Venus V6 variants that use 
this new API. Hence during the next GDSC enable, GDSC will be in SW mode 
and GDSC will powerup properly.

Thanks,
Jagadeesh
