Yeah I mean I accept the logic - the core AHB clock is effectively gated 
by the ipblockcc even though they originate from different places in 
hardware - and _when_ do you want one clock without the other ? Never 
except at probe() time for the ipblockcc.

Then again if you can show the clock dependency tree of camera or disp 
requires GCC_IP_AHB_CLK you could make the argument the dt requires the 
clock dependency defined in that block.

I'd say we should offline this from Luca's patches tho :) for me anyway 
the first two are fine.

Agree #3 is verboten. No new empty nodes.
