nsscc_ipq9574 was not using icc_sync_state. After adding that, I
can see the following messages printed from icc_sync_state. I
also added a print to confirm if 'p->set(n, n);' is called.

The gcc based interconnect paths are referenced by PCIe controller
nodes. Please refer to this patch

	[PATCH V5 4/6] arm64: dts: qcom: ipq9574: Add PCIe PHYs and controller nodes
	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20240512082858.1806694-5-quic_devipriy@quicinc.com/

Sorry, did not post the nsscc related patches since this base ICC
patch hasn't reached closure. The nsscc patches are very similar
to this gcc based series. Wanted to gather the issues raised in
this and address them in nsscc so that it is in a more acceptable
shape.

Thanks
