[PATCH 0/4] amlogic: t7: give the MMC bus pipeline clock real consumers

The previous series [2] for the intermittent boot hangs on the VIM4
marked sys_ampipe_nand as critical. But as Chuan Liu from Amlogic
explained [1], sys_ampipe_nand clocks a pipeline stage that the
hardware design inserts in the bus path between the SD/eMMC
controllers and the NIC_MATRIX fabric to help timing closure.

So the clock has real consumers: reference it from the three MMC
controller nodes and drop CLK_IS_CRITICAL instead.

The series crosses three trees; patch 4 (clk) must only land after
patches 1-3, otherwise the DMA hangs fixed by 43e1705ecab9 come back.

    Intermittent boot instability and memory corruption on VIM4)
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-amlogic/ (arm64: amlogic: t7:
    describe the VIM4 supplies and keep the fabric clocks running)

Thanks,
