Hi Stephan,

Thanks for reporting and fixing this. That's unfortunately the things we
have to find the "hard way"

Could you please:
1) add a Fixes tag to commit description so stable can pick it up

Fixes: 085a4ea93d54 ("clk: meson: g12a: add peripheral clock controller")

2) Add a comment similar to the comment block of fdiv3 so we are pretty
clear why this clock needs to be critical and don't have to dig in
history find out.

Also please Cc Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> ... you guys
apparently found this at them time :)

Thanks
