General comment, please add a comment around CLK_IS_CRITICAL usage if it
isn't very clear why such a clk shouldn't be turned off. Second, is
there any point in describing these clks in the kernel and using memory
to do that if they're just going to always be on? Wouldn't a dummy clk
returned from clk_get() work just as well if anything is grabbing a
reference with clk_get()?
