According to hardware designer it servers no purpose. Just a legacy of
previous design...

After reviewing hardware design diagram, hardware designer concludes
that the clock tree is indeed

top_i2c -> infra_ao_i2c{4-6}
top_i2c -> infra_ao_i2c_ap -> imp_iic_wrap_ap_clock_i2c{4-6}

so I think we should keep this clock relation unchanged.
