And you're sure that toggling bits in the TCON TOP block doesn't require
the reset to be de-asserted and the bus clock enabled?

Somehow I doubt that.

Once the driver register the clocks it provides, they absolutely must work.
They can't only work after the bind phase when the reset gets de-asserted
and the bus clock enabled. Or you should provide proper error reporting
in the clock ops. I doubt you want to go that way either.
