The RCG2 hardware hasn't required the parent to be enabled for clk
operations besides for the glitch-free source switch. What scenario is
happening here that's requiring this flag? Is the RCG forcibly enabled
perhaps because the bootloader has left the root enable bit set
(CMD_ROOT_EN)? Or are we changing the parent while the clk framework
thinks the clk is off when it is actually on?

TL;DR: This is papering over a bigger bug.
