This is a legit usage of __clk_is_enabled().... because that's what we're really
doing here, we're checking if a clock got enabled by the underlying MCU (as that
clock goes up after the VDEC boots).

If this is *not* acceptable as it is, we will have to add a clock API call to
check if a clock is enabled... but it didn't seem worth doing since we don't
expect anyone else to have any legit usage of that, or at least, we don't know
about anyone else needing that...

As for the syscon, that's something that we've been discussing as well... the
thing is: we're really *really* checking if a clock is enabled, so we should
be using clock related calls... reading from a syscon means that we'd have to
perform a register read (of.. again.. a clock) outside of the clock framework
which, in my opinion, wouldn't be clean; I'd expect that to become a bit messy
in the future too, should more MediaTek SoCs (I think MT8192/95 are already in
the list, Nicolas please correct me if I'm wrong here) need the same thing, as
we'd be adding more definitions around.

Cheers,
