UFS doesn't use PIPE clock.
But considering for PCIe, if we disable pipe clock when phy is still 
running, then
it shouldn't be a problem. We should also not see the halt warning as 
the gcc
driver should be able to just turn the gate off.
The reason why it will throw that error is when the parent clock to that 
gate
is gated, i.e. the pipe clock is not flowing on that branch.
