[PATCH] clk: sunxi-ng: Mark A523 bus-r-cpucfg clock as critical

[Jernej Skrabec]

bus-r-cpucfg clock is important for peripheral which takes care for
powering CPU cores on and off. Since this operation is done by firmware
(TF-A), mark is as critical. That way Linux won't interfere with that
clock.

"mark it"
Also, I think it's "takes care of"

The change itself looks good as far as I can tell.

Many thanks, makes sense. I hammered /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<x>/online
like a 1000 times in a random loop now, and it survived - after I excluded
CPU0 from this. Offlining CPU0 works, but it doesn't come back online
again. But that's probably something in TF-A, so nothing that affects this
