This is precisely what Lee is trying to avoid. The would constitute a
hand-rolled, open-code, gather-and-mark exercise that drivers would have
to re-invent each time. (rough paraphrase of what Lee said)

I think that we can come up with a reasonable DT wrapper around the
flag. I will be ecstatic if we can agree that the meaning of the flag
can be tweaked just a bit to mean, "prevent this critical clock from
being disabled, as it was enabled out of reset or by the bootloader,
until a driver claims it and calls clk_prepare_enable".

Then everyone should be happy.

Mike
