Sorry if I hadn't expressed myself clearly. All the consumers are
not there in place yet.

There are consumers for GPLL4, but they are getting disabled by
clk_disable_unused (this is expected). There seems to be some
consumer that got enabled in boot loader itself but not accounted
in Linux because of which we are relying on CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED.
If missing consumer(s) is identified, we can do away with this
flag. Till that is done, was hoping CLK_IS_CRITICAL could help.
