That's the point, if it was missing and was not enabled I would have
noticed display not working (unless the bootloader left it on, which it
did for at least the mdss instance with the eDP panel)

The reason is, downstream lazily enables clocks because people decided
they don't leak much power and are still enabled after a clock
controller reset (or something) and we started blindly copying that
around 2017 :/

Yeah the current state of things is not great.
