I would argue that any kernel functionality that relies on clocks
being left on my bootloader is buggy, and/or should at least have
those clocks enabled in the static clock tables for the boards in
question, since it creates an undocumented dependency on firmware.

I would prefer if it disabled the clocks by default (after warning),
but that there was a runtime way to override while debugging (i.e. add
a bootarg 'keep_fwclocks' or similar to keep the firmware-enabled
clocks running and just warn about them).
