Fixed clocks are intended to be ungateable? Where does this come from?

So essentially only enable-gpios and vdd-supply is added in comparison to
fixed-clock. Does it make sense to add that to the fixed-clocks instead?
Similar to fixed-regulator.

With this list it's essentially the same as fixed-clock.
