Can you also add <clk_s_c0_flexgen CLK_PROC_STFE> to the list of always
on clocks for stih407 and stih410?

This clock is slightly unusual in that the clock doesn't need to be on
at boot, but once enabled by the kernel, can't be disabled without causing
the system to hang.

So slightly different from the others, but I would prefer to keep balanced
enable/disable calls in the tsin driver, in case this (bug?) goes away
on future SoC's.

regards,

Peter.
