As a general comment I think this is implemented the wrong way around.

Neither GPC, nor the blk-ctrl should poke into the NoC registers
directly. The NoC driver should attach itself to the power domain via a
notifier (same as the blk-ctrl does with the GPC domains) and should do
the necessary NoC configuration when the power domain is powered up.

Regards,
Lucas
