PCIe and USB are the major consumers, which got added with the below 
commits and landed in v6.16 and v6.14 respectively.

ab7f31a3830d ("arm64: dts: qcom: ipq5424: Add PCIe PHYs and controller 
nodes")

113d52bdc820 ("arm64: dts: qcom: ipq5424: Add USB controller and phy nodes")

While I was revisiting the code found that this flag is not removed. 
Hence I sent this.

Shall I reword the commit message as below for the next spin?

Since PCIe and USB are enabled and consume GPLL4, there is no need to
keep the CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED flag. Drop it.
