I have some difficulty to follow why some of these clocks are critical.
It might help if the commit message mentioned why each of these need to
remain enabled forever, even if never used.

Also, it's fairly unlikely that pll_p for example would ever get
disabled because a bunch of others are derived from it. I'm also not
quite convinced yet that it really is critical. What does it drive which
isn't claimed by any drivers?

A few more comments below.

Doesn't CLK_IS_CRITICAL always trump CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED anyway? Why do we
need to keep both?

Aren't these used by the CPU frequency scaling code? Do they have to
remain on if we don't enable CPU frequency scaling?

Would you mind refreshing my memory about what this is and why it is
critical?

Wouldn't this better be handled by the XUSB driver? It certainly seems
very specific to XUSB and I don't see why we would want to keep it
enabled even if XUSB wasn't used.

Same comments as for pll_p.

I thought this was driving the G cluster, what if we switched to the LP
cluster, wouldn't that mean we can disable cclk_g?

I've only briefly scanned through the remainder of the series, and I
suspect that many of the below changes are simply moving the data out of
the init tables, so not effectively changing anything, but I'd still
like to get this documented a little better. As it is, it's completely
non-obvious why some of these clocks have the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag while
others don't. It's almost as obfuscated in the current init tables, but
them being in those tables indicates that they're somehow special,
whereas that's much more difficult to see with the conversion to the
CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag.
