soc: rockchip: power-domain: Manage resource conflicts with firmware

On RK3399 platforms, power domains are managed mostly by the kernel
(drivers/soc/rockchip/pm_domains.c), but there are a few exceptions
where ARM Trusted Firmware has to be involved:

(1) system suspend/resume
(2) DRAM DVFS (a.k.a., "ddrfreq")

Exception (1) does not cause much conflict, since the kernel has
quiesced itself by the time we make the relevant PSCI call.

Exception (2) can cause conflict, because of two actions:

(a) ARM Trusted Firmware needs to read/modify/write the PMU_BUS_IDLE_REQ
    register to idle the memory controller domain; the kernel driver
    also has to touch this register for other domains.
(b) ARM Trusted Firmware needs to manage the clocks associated with
    these domains.

To elaborate on (b): idling a power domain has always required ungating
an array of clocks; see this old explanation from Rockchip:
