+Description:    Allow the root user to disable/enable in runtime the clock
+                gating mechanism in Gaudi. Due to how Gaudi is built, the
+                clock gating needs to be disabled in order to access the
+                registers of the TPC and MME engines. This is sometimes needed
+                during debug by the user and hence the user needs this option
