There are two approaches which we have looked in to resolving the sharing of the AXI clock.

1. The drivers newer touch this clock but vote on new icc camera which controls this clock (The v1 and v2) patches.

2. Use icc-clk in the extension in clock framework same approach as: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240430064214.2030013-6-quic_varada@xxxxxxxxxxx/
This is already merged and i believe resolved similar issue. 

3. Which you are proposing to have clock framework to accept the votes.

Before we jump and implement the v4 it will be really good to have common agreement on which direction to go.
