Clocks for each power domain are split into big categories: pd clocks and subsys clocks. According to the binding, all clocks which have a dash '-' in their name are treated as subsys clocks, and must be placed at the end of the list. The other clocks which are pd clocks must come first. Fixed the naming and the placing of all clocks in the power domains. For the avoidance of doubt, prefixed all subsys clocks with the 'subsys' prefix. The binding does not enforce strict clock names, the driver uses them in bulk, only making a difference for pd clocks vs subsys clocks. The above problem appears to be trivial, however, it leads to incorrect power up and power down sequence of the power domains, because some clocks will be mistakenly taken for subsys clocks and viceversa. One consequence is the fact that if the DIS power domain goes power down and power back up during the boot process, when it comes back up, there are still transactions left on the bus which makes the display inoperable. Some of the clocks for the DIS power domain were wrongly using '_' instead of '-', which again made these clocks being treated as pd clocks instead of subsys clocks.
