Another approach could be moving the clock on and off to
to component_ops.{bind,unbind} (as rockhip driver does).

What exactly is the PLL clock needed for? Would it make sense
to move it some of the PHY power on/off? (Maybe not, but it's worthing
checking).

Also, it seems the other IP blocks have this PLL clock, so maybe
it could be moved to the dw_mipi_dsi core? This could be something
for a follow-up, to avoid creeping this series.

Thanks,
