Can this be used on MT8192/MT8195?
If yes, you can avoid adding that sw_ddr_en, as you would be able to simply
use `control_by_sw`, which already seems to be doing most of what you're adding
here.

Also, I dislike all this locking: the point of having MTK CMDQ is to improve
performance (I know it's more than that, but there's no ISP upstream) and part
of that happens because locking is greatly reduced.

If you add it back up, we're losing part of the point.

Though, in this driver, we are already tracking the usage of the CMDQ threads
and, when there's no more usage, we're turning off the clocks: this is done
through the usage of `task_busy_list`, so you *do* have a way to avoid adding
more locks around.
Besides that, you could also add a clock notifier for the same, but since
the state is already tracked, I'd avoid using that.

Moreover, (7 << 16) == GENMASK(18, 16)

#define GCE_CMD_SOMETHING GENMASK(18, 16)

Regards,
Angelo
