To be honest I don't see the point of this patch.
You are bloating the PMC interface by introducing another exported
function that does nothing different than what the current function
already does.

If you need a way to assert the clamp I would have expected you to
introduce a common function to do this for all power partitions.

Other comments inline.

Those functions with a bool parameter to set/unset something are really
annoying. Please avoid this pattern. The naming of the original function
is much more intuitive.

You are reading the register back here, which to me seems like you are
trying to make sure that the write is flushed. Why is this needed?
I also observed the need to do this while working on Tegra124 PCIe in
Barebox, otherwise the partition wouldn't power up. I didn't have time
to follow up on this yet, so it would be nice if you could explain why
this is needed, or if you don't know ask HW about it.
