When COMMON_CLK_DISABLED_UNUSED is set, in an effort to save power and
to keep the software model of the clock in line with reality, the
framework transverses the clock tree and disables those clocks that
were enabled by the firmware but have not been enabled by any device
driver.

If CPUFREQ is enabled, early during the system boot, it might attempt
to change the CPU frequency ("set_rate"). If the HFPLL is selected as
a provider, it will then change the rate for this clock.

As boot continues, clk_disable_unused_subtree will run. Since it wont
find a valid counter (enable_count) for a clock that is actually
enabled it will attempt to disable it which will cause the CPU to
stop. Notice that in this driver, calls to check whether the clock is
enabled are routed via the is_enabled callback which queries the
hardware.
With the CPUFREQ referencing the CPU clock driver, that has decided to
run off this clock, why is it not refcounted?
COMMON_CLK_DISABLED_UNUSED relies on the enable_count reference counter
to disable the clocks that were enabled by the firwmare and not by the
drivers.

the cpufreq driver does not enable the cpu clock.

so when clk_change_rate is called, the enable_count counter is not
incremented and therefore it just remains null since this was enabled by
the firmware.

I tried doing:
diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq-dt.c b/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq-dt.c
index e58bfcb..5a9f83e 100644

        clk_put(cpu_clk);

        name = find_supply_name(cpu_dev);

and that removed the need for CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED. But I am not sure of
the system wide consequences of that change to cpufreq.

maybe Viresh can comment?

The following commit, rather than marking the clock critical and
forcing the clock to be always enabled, addresses the above scenario
making sure the clock is not disabled but it continues to rely on the
firmware to enable the clock.
