But I don't see why you are keeping the simple-gates. The bus gate may
be ungated/gated when the clock is enabled/disabled, and that's what
Allwinner's software does.

For peripherals that have a separate mod clock, having them separate
is a good thing. One example might be the audio codecs. You could ungate
the bus gate to access its registers to program it, but only enable
the mod clock when you actually play something.

The roles of the bus gate and the clock gate are the same. I don't see
any reason to set one gate without setting the other one. More, the
spec says what the bus gate must be enabled before the clock gate (and
reverse order while disabling). So, setting both gates in one function
call seems safer.

Wha? Aren't bus gates and clock gates the same thing in this context?

Then, if you want to save some power while not playing anything, just do
clk_disable() of the (main and only) i2s clock.
