The AO sys gate clock chain may be:

ao_xtal_in->ao_xtal->ao_sys-> AO sys gate clocks

"ao_xtal_in" is part of the parent chain of the AO sys gate clocks.

Some of its downstream clocks are marked with CLK_IS_CRITICAL. To ensure
those clocks remain functional, ao_xtal_in must not be disabled and is
therefore marked as CLK_IS_CRITICAL as well.


I will rephrase it like this in the next version:

         /*
          * ao_sys can select different clock sources. One possible 
clock path is:
          *      ao_xtal_in->ao_xtal->ao_sys-> ao sys gate clocks
          *
          * ao_xtal_in is in the parent chain of AO sys gate clocks.
          * Since some downstream clocks are marked CLK_IS_CRITICAL,
          * ao_xtal_in must remain enabled and is therefore marked
          * CLK_IS_CRITICAL as well.
          */

Ok, I will use the original clk_init_data for this one.
