Can you split the dts changes from the driver changes and only send the
clk driver changes to clk maintainers? I don't intend to apply dts file
changes to the clk tree. Those can go via arm-soc based on some
immutable branch that lives in clk tree until next merge window closes.

Please document in the code why CLK_IS_CRITICAL is used. For example,
"This clk needs to be on so the CPU can keep fetching instructions from
memory" or something like that.
