During init, ensure that the driver on/off state as well as clock and
reset state matches the hardware state.  Do this by always calling the
drivers 'on' function, and then callling the 'off' function if the
HW state was initially detected as off.

I don't see what you are trying to solve except simplifying the code.
Simplifying the code is a worthwhile goal on its own, but that's not the
only thing I'm tring to accomplish.
I still find it ugly to power_on a domain to power it off right afterwards.
The issue is with the CCF enable handling which is not in sync with the
HW, if you boot with an already enabled clock, it won't be marked enabled
in CCF, and it's clearly bad when you want to have a fine-tuned gate state
handling.
CCF should disable unused clock so, in theory, you should not have to
call enable() then disable() to get things in sync.

I suppose the clock in question has the flag CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED (one of
the gates) ?

If the CLK_INGORE_UNUSED is becoming a problem, it would be better to
fix the clock tree rather than adding quirks in consumers.
