HW_CLK_CTRL being flagged in dispcc causes the CFG_HW_CLK_CTRL flag to
be set in the RCG_CFG registers of dispcc.

This flag simply marks the clock as having hardware control enabled or disabled.

As for the question if it is really needed, I can't answer that since
no documentation or downstream comments explain the exact behaviour.
As far as I know the only way to figure out if it is required is
disabling the flag and checking for bugs. I did find this[1] patch,
which enabled HW_CLK_CTRL_MODE.

Should I err on the side of the downstream implementation, or try to
create a minimum functional driver based on the downstream driver?
