[PATCH v3 2/2] clk: samsung: gs101: don't mark non-essential (UART) clocks critical

The peric0_top1_ipclk_0 and peric0_top1_pclk_0 are the clocks going to
peric0/uart_usi, with pclk being the bus clock. Without pclk running,
any bus access will hang.
Unfortunately, in commit d97b6c902a40 ("arm64: dts: exynos: gs101:
update USI UART to use peric0 clocks") the gs101 DT ended up specifying
an incorrect pclk in the respective node and instead the two clocks
here were marked as critical.
Since then, the DT has been updated to use the correct clock in
commit 21e4e8807bfc ("arm64: dts: exynos: gs101: use correct clocks for
usi_uart") and the driver here should be corrected and the work-around
removed.
Note that this commit has the side-effect of causing earlycon to stop
to work sometime into the boot for two reasons:
* peric0_top1_ipclk_0 requires its parent gout_cmu_peric0_ip to be
running, but because earlycon doesn't deal with clocks that
parent will be disabled when none of the other drivers that
actually deal with clocks correctly require it to be running and
the real serial driver (which does deal with clocks) hasn't taken
over yet
* hand-over between earlycon and serial driver appears to be
fragile and clocks get enabled and disabled a few times, which
also causes register access to hang while earlycon is still
active
(A wordier explanation can also be found in [1])
Nonetheless we shouldn't keep these clocks running unconditionally just
for earlycon. Clocks should be disabled where possible. If earlycon is
required in the future, e.g. for debug, this commit can simply be
reverted (locally!).
