I would rewrite the commit message something like:
"
    clk: scmi: Add support for forbidden clock state controls

    Some clocks may be exported to OS agent, while certain configurations/
    access to those clocks are restricted to the OS agent by the SCMI platform
    firmware. For example:

    SYS_CLK1-----
                 \
                 --MUX--->MMC1_CLK
                 /
    SYS_CLK2-----

    MMC1_CLK needs to set parent as part of it initialisation and enabling.
    SYS_CLK1 and SYS_CLK2 are exported to the OS agent. The clk propagation
    will access SYS_CLK1 or SYS_CLK2 based on the configuration. However,
    we need bypass the failure to access SYS_CLK1 or SYS_CLK2 when MMC1_CLK
    is accessed and enabled.

    Add a separate scmi_no_state_ctrl clk_ops where the calls to the SCMI
    platform firmware are avoided if the access is not permitted.
"
No need to repost.

I need Stephen's ack to take this together with scmi clk changes.
