Yes, my fault.

I will add more descriptions in next version.

Below is the draft explaination.

This issue actually is caused by that in current code, orphan clocks
re-parent operation is before the critical clock enable operation.
Before the critical clock is enabled, it may has a chance to be disabled
already in orphan re-parent operation.

Assuming we have two clocks: A and B while B is A's parent.
Clock A has flag: CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE
Clock B has flag: CLK_IS_CRITICAL

Step 1:
Clock A is registered, then it becomes orphan.

Step 2:
Clock B is registered. Before clock B reach the critical clock
enable operation, orphan A find B parent and do reparent, then
the parent B may be disabled in __clk_set_parent_after()
due to CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE flag.

static int __clk_core_init(struct clk_core *core) {
.............
hlist_for_each_entry_safe(orphan, tmp2, &clk_orphan_list, child_node) {
struct clk_core *parent = __clk_init_parent(orphan);

/*
* we could call __clk_set_parent, but that would result in a
* redundant call to the .set_rate op, if it exists
*/
if (parent) {
__clk_set_parent_before(orphan, parent);
__clk_set_parent_after(orphan, parent, NULL);
__clk_recalc_accuracies(orphan);
__clk_recalc_rates(orphan, 0);
}
}
....

if (core->flags & CLK_IS_CRITICAL) {
unsigned long flags;

clk_core_prepare(core);

flags = clk_enable_lock();
clk_core_enable(core);
clk_enable_unlock(flags);
}
...
}

Yes, then it should be commit fc8726a2c021
clk: core: support clocks which requires parents enable (part 2)
Did not consider that situation.

Will add later.
