Keep the AHB clock always on since there is no driver to control it and
all the other clocks that use it as parent rely on it being always enabled.

Please add a comment into the code why it's critical.
Comment explaining why the AHB bus clock is critical ?
Isn't that self-explanatory ?
Nope, it isn't self-explanatory, because nothing on this line says "bus"
and it could be that someone reading this code isn't well versed in the
concepts of ARM world AHB to connect the two.
Agree with Stephen. Commit message should try to give as much details
as possible
also maybe educate the readers who might not have that much knowledge.

Abel, I understand that for someone who works daily with this part of the kernel
this change might look trivial.

Also, without this patch linux-next hangs on imx8mq.
How does that happen?  Mainline is fine there?

Shawn
