Lots of platforms contain clocks which if turned off would prove fatal. The only way to recover from these catastrophic failures is to restart the board(s). Now, when a clock provider is registered with the framework it is possible for a list of always-on clocks to be supplied which must be kept ungated. Each clock mentioned in the newly introduced 'clock-always-on' will be clk_prepare_enable()d where the normal references will be taken. This will prevent the common clk framework from attempting to gate them during the clk_disable_unused() and disable_clock() procedures. Changelog: Implementations have changed drastically between versions, thus I would like for this set to be thought of independently from its predecessors. The only reason for identifying as 'v5' is ease of differentiation on the list, which stems from the confusion caused by submitting 'v4' as a separate entity.
