Currently AUDSS mux has two parents, XXTI crystal and MAU_EPLL clock.
As per observation, when the output of AUDSS mux is gated, we are not
able to do any operation on the clocks provided by MAU block (mostly
the clocks used by ADMA and audio blocks).

I might have a little vogue while updating the commit message
(mentioning about clk_get which surely is only a s/w operation), but
there is definitely some issue with handling those clocks under given
scenario.

I am on leave till end of this week, so I will update you more with
the logs on Monday.
