I tested on Cardhu/Tegra30 (I'd previously only tested on
Harmony/Tegra20), and I see the exact same problem; the clock core turns
off the UART clock and the system hangs.

Are you sure you don't have any other local patches that somehow keep
the UART clock on (e.g. disabling clk_disable_unused, calling clk_get()
on the UART clock somewhere else, have the Tegra HS UART driver enabled
on the console port for testing which perhaps does an unconditional
clk_get). Are you sure you're testing with U-Boot rather than our binary
bootloader; who knows what kind of voodoo that does to clocks.

Note: I tested: a merge of arm-soc/for-next and Tegra's for-next branch,
with my patch to remove the clock-frequency properties reverted, plus a
fix for the boot crash ("clockevents: fix generic broadcast for
FEAT_C3STOP").

That returns 0 if the property is present (so doesn't get/enable the
clock), and an error code if the property is missing (so does get/enable
the clock).
