[openrisc] Power Management Unit



Hello, again!
I have seen that clock gating feature in Power Management Unit 'utomatically disables clock subtrees to major processor internal units on a clock cycle basis. These blocks are usually the CPU, FPU/VU, IC, DC, IMMU and DMMU. (...) Cache or MMU blocks that are already disabled when software enables this feature, have completely disabled clock subtrees until clock gating is disabled or until the blocks are again enabled'. 
In the manual, you don't specify how the clock gating feature can be disabled once it has been enabled. If CPU have no clock, I guess that it cannot be done by writing in Power Management Register. I wonder if clock gating feature is disabled by an external interrupt or by a reset, or whether the architecture allows the implementation to choose how control this feature.
Thank you in advance
