Yes, agree. For current case, uboot gate on the sys1_pll_266m, then boot the Linux.
In Linux, after clock driver probe, due the the support of sys1_pll_266m_cg, this sys1_pll_266m is gate off by clock driver due to no default consumer.

Not in uSDHC side. This synchronization should be done somewhere in clock tree(hardware side).

Whether to choose your minimal fix or revert the commit, let's involve clock team member, Abel/Jacky, any comment?
Our local tree just revert this commit, I think there are some other reason, Jacky, could you help clarify that?
