We have three input clocks feeding the SA2UL module, x1, x2, pka. PKA goes
to the PKA sub-module (isn't it nice when they make things simple). But x1 and
x2 are miscellaneous and bus clocks respectively and route to several sub-modules.

All we drop here is the clock handle in the RNG sub-module, as that sub-module is
not the owner of that clock (the parent SA2UL is). The alternative we could implement
is to move the clock node up to the parent SA2UL node.

Why? the power-domains property is in the correct spot (up in the parent node).

Now it is true we cant actually shut the SA2UL down since it is owned
by the security processor, but since it is marked TI_SCI_PD_SHARED this
should be fine.
