I didn't yet received any response on HW details from AW till now, but I would
like to post new version of patches soon.

While chaining like you described could be implemented easily, I don't think
it really represents HW as it is. Tests showed that these two clocks are
independent, otherwise register writes/reads wouldn't be possible with tcon-
top gate disabled. I chose tcon-top bus clock as a parent becase if it is not
enabled, it simply won't work.

However, if everyone feels chaining is the best way to implement it, I'll do
it.

Best regards,
Jernej
