Hi Jonathan,

It's not super urgent.
Actually this issue could potentially impact other parts, but it was 
never hit, as the clocking of the ADC block in older products is done 
differently and the bridge connected to the block does not halt if 
requests are sent to an unclocked ADC. Most likely they are buffered and 
served once clock ticks.

For the sama7g5, the ADC is in an asynchronous part of the architecture 
that is clocked by a generic clock that must be on, otherwise the full 
AXI4 will stall because no reply is coming as the ADC is not clocked.
I do not fully grasp it, but this is my understanding.

Anyway it makes sense for all products to not read/write registers in 
the block if the clock is not started yet.
