Before XO refclk is distributed to PCIe/USB/eDP PHYs, it passes through
a QREF block. QREF is powered by dedicated LDO rails, and the clkref_en
register controls whether refclk is gated through to the PHY side.

These clkref controls are different from typical GCC branch clocks:
- only a single enable bit is present, without branch-style config bits
- regulators must be voted before enable and unvoted after disable

Model this as a dedicated clk_ref clock type with custom clk_ops instead
of reusing struct clk_branch semantics.

Also provide a common registration/probe API so the same clkref model
can be reused regardless of where clkref_en registers are placed, e.g.
TCSR on glymur and TLMM on SM8750.

regmap_read returns a negative error code on failure, but the
clk_ops.is_enabled() treats the non-zero value as enabled.


A regmap_read failure doesn't mean the clock is disabled.

Do we have special reason to treat the error number as "true"? Its worthy to add a comment to explain why.
