Using a combination of fixed clock and gpio-gate clock works but does
not describe the actual hardware. Use the gated-fixed-clock binding
to describe this in a nicer way.

The change itself looks fine , so

However, if it's designed as active high, I would say Tiger is against
the the PCIe spec about how L1 substate work. Perhaps you could check
PCIe spec v7.0, Figure 5-16 Example: L1.2 Waveforms Illustrating
Upstream Port Initiated Exit.. When in L1.2, clkreq# should be released
by both ends, and the pull-up register by whatevery way will make it
into high, and thus refclk is gated automatically.
