Well, I think they are not important either. Also, by default gate
register has all the gate bits enabled. When a gate driver is added,
the kernel by default will try to disable those clocks that haven't
been requested. To avoid weird behaviour because of some drivers are
not using properly clocks we have the CLK_IGNORED_UNUSED, which as you
can see is currently being used in my code. Using that all seems to
work as expected as it is now.
