How about this?

 The crypto_ahb and crypto_axi clks are hardware voteable. This means
 that the halt bit isn't reliable because some other voter in the
 system, e.g. TrustZone, could be keeping the clk enabled when the
 kernel turns it off from clk_disable(). Make these clks use voting mode
 by changing the halt check to BRANCH_HALT_VOTED and toggle the voting
 bit in the voting register instead of directly controlling the branch
 by writing to the branch register. This fixes stuck clk warnings seen
 on ipq9574 and saves power by actually turning the clk off.
