Sure, using 'CLK_IS_CRITICAL'  should be ok for clks_init_on clocks.  But for  USBPHY*_GATE, it is
only enabled when CONIG_USB_MXC_PHY is true.  And another concern is if we need to add CLK_IS_CRITICAL
flag to clks_init_on clocks, we may need to add new wrapper function to register these critical clock. It is not very good.

This clock sequence is used for increasing the AXI and AHB bus clock rate. In normal
use, it is very rarely that we need to change them again. If we really need to change
AXI and AHB bus clock later, a similar sequence must be used to do this.
