The gain is on the registers accesses and the internal PRCM state machine.
If needed the changelog can be updated.

Not exactly. The patch does not assume that there is only one clkdm
per power domain. It just allows or denies only one clkdm to idle,
which has the same effect at the power domain level.

Thanks for reviewing,
