I consider this patch really helpful, it helped me to debug a clk issue
without having to recompile the kernel for each bisection step.

On #kernelnewbies I got some positive feedback for it (1629304050 < j_ey>
ukleinek: nice clk_ignore_unused patch, I added a pr_err there recently
to print the clocks that were being disabled).

Best regards
Uwe
