Basically if you don't need to power any of these power rails to
have access to the clock controller, you don't need any of them.

What you will need to do however, is make sure that they are scaled with
child devices then.. but that's no bueno since they all need TITAN_GDSC.
That's why Bryan suggests leaving a vote on a power rail in the clock
controller, so that if no other votes are present (as improbable as
that may be), you will still be able to get the clocks going.

That OTOH will require you to add power management support (PM ops)
to the clock controller, as otherwise you can say goodbye to battery
life..
