Ah, this is a great idea, thanks. I tried a quick test by enabling only
clocks that are provided by GCC, but looks like I need to enable GPUCC
clocks as well. So I need to write a driver for GPUCC or at least
figure which registers to write with a debugger. I'll try this later.

By the way, do you have any suggestion about my second issue? When Linux
in the Dom0 tries to access UFS, CPU gets a secure interrupt and hangs in
TZ. I had the same exactly behavior when I tried to access EMAC without enabling
clocks and power domains in U-Boot. But Linux should enable all
prerequisites for UFS... I suspect that there is an additional
initialization needs to be done, but I didn't figured it yet.
