it's not clear to me if you have only tested with the PWM and/or
FCLK_DIV4 clocks. can you please describe what you have tested so far?

for reference - my way of debugging this in the past was:
1. add some printks to clk_disable_unused_subtree (right after the
clk_core_is_enabled check) to see which clocks are being disabled
2. add CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED or CLK_IS_CRITICAL to the clocks which are
being disabled based on the information from step #1
3. (at some point I had a working kernel with lots of clocks with
CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED/CLK_IS_CRITICAL)
4. start dropping the CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED/CLK_IS_CRITICAL flags again
until you have traced it down to the clocks that are the actual issue
(so far I always had only one clock which caused issues, but it may be
multiple)
5. investigate (and/or ask on the mailing list, Amlogic developers are
reading the mails here as well) for the few clocks from step #4

did you find any reason which indicates that the problem is related to a bus?
the issues I had were due to clocks not being assigned to their
consumers in .dts - that can be anything (from a bus to something
different).
