Something more about the issue.

I had re-designed venus driver on three platform drivers venus-core,
venus-dec and venus-enc in order to be able to control those three
power-domains (VENUS_GDSC, VENUS_CORE0_GDSC and VENUS_CORE1_GDSC).

After that I abstracted MMAGIC hw on a separate mmagic driver. This
driver just controls mmagic clocks and GDSC in its runtime_suspend and
runtime_resume methods.

The DT nodes looks like:

mmagic_video {
	compatible = "qcom,msm8996-mmagic";
	clocks = <&rpmcc MSM8996_RPM_SMD_MMAXI_CLK>,
		 <&mmcc MMSS_MMAGIC_AHB_CLK>,
		 <&mmcc MMSS_MMAGIC_CFG_AHB_CLK>,
		 <&mmcc MMAGIC_VIDEO_NOC_CFG_AHB_CLK>,
		 <&mmcc MMSS_MMAGIC_MAXI_CLK>,
		 <&mmcc MMAGIC_VIDEO_AXI_CLK>,
		 <&mmcc SMMU_VIDEO_AHB_CLK>,
		 <&mmcc SMMU_VIDEO_AXI_CLK>;
	power-domains = <&mmcc MMAGIC_VIDEO_GDSC>;

	video-codec {
		compatible = "qcom,msm8996-venus";
		clocks = <&mmcc VIDEO_CORE_CLK>,
			 <&mmcc VIDEO_AHB_CLK>,
			 <&mmcc VIDEO_AXI_CLK>,
			 <&mmcc VIDEO_MAXI_CLK>;
		power-domains = <&mmcc VENUS_GDSC>;
		...
	
		video-decoder {
			compatible = "venus-decoder";
			clocks = "subcore0";
			clock-names = <&mmcc VIDEO_SUBCORE0_CLK>;
			power-domains = <&mmcc VENUS_CORE0_GDSC>;
		};

		video-encoder {
			compatible = "venus-encoder";
			clocks = "subcore1";
			clock-names = <&mmcc VIDEO_SUBCORE1_CLK>;
			power-domains = <&mmcc VENUS_CORE1_GDSC>;
		};
	};
};

Note that mmagic_video is a parent dt node for smmu_video DT node so
that clocks and mmagic_video gdsc will be enabled once smmu driver is
instantiated by venus-core diriver.

Now when video-dec driver calls pm_runtime_get_sync() the sequence of
enabling is:

MMAGIC_VIDEO_GDSC -> MMAGIC clocks and SMMU clocks -> VENUS_GDSC ->
VIDEO clocks -> VENUS_CORE0_GDSC -> VIDEO subcore0 clock

When video-dec platform driver calls pm_runtime_put_sync() we should
disabling of GDSC and clocks in the reversed oder.

The issue comes when I have ran video decoder, the decoder hw finish
stream decoding and we want to suspend venus core. The issue is that
when I start disabling SMMU_VIDEO_AXI_CLK and/or MMAGIC_VIDEO_AXI_CLK
the system reboots.

I have added a delay (200ms) before disabling mmagic clocks and then
everything is fine again.

Any idea?
