It is related to the way MSTOP and PWRDN hardware features works together.
PWRDN allows you to save more power by setting IP specific bits in this
registers after you set the MSTOP.

OFTDE_DDR and TZCDDR have PWRDN bits dedicated as well as other IPs (e.g.
serial, ethernet, etc) in CPG_PWRDN_IP2. Setting CPG_PWRDN_MSTOP_ENABLE to
CPG_PWRDN_MSTOP applies the power down for the IPs specified in
CPG_PWRDN_{IP1, IP2}.

It may happen (as in my case) to have a bootloader that sets all the bits
in CPG_PWRD_{IP1,IP2}.

If you want to save power for the other IPs listed in CPG_PWRD_{IP1,IP2}
you have to instantiate power domains for the blocks that you don't want to
be powered down due to setting CPG_PWRDN_MSTOP_ENABLE to CPG_PWRDN_MSTOP,
to power them up. Otherwise the system will block when setting
CPG_PWRDN_MSTOP_ENABLE to CPG_PWRDN_MSTOP (if bootloaders previously did
some settings in the above specified registers).

Hope it was clear.

Thank you,
