Looks like there is an errata for this issue, and Ranjani just sent a patch for review internally,

Back-to-back LPCG writes can be ignored by the LPCG register due to a 
HW bug. The writes need to be separated by atleast 4 cycles of the gated clock.
The workaround is implemented as follows:
1. For clocks running greater than 50MHz no delay is required as the 
delay in accessing the LPCG register is sufficient.
2. For clocks running greater than 23MHz, a read followed by the write 
will provide the sufficient delay.
3. For clocks running below 23MHz, LPCG is not used.

Need double check?
