From: Michael Srba <michael.srba@xxxxxxxxx> With the gcc driver now being more complete and describing clocks which might not always be write-accessible to the OS, conservatively specify all such clocks as protected in the SoC dts. The board dts - or even user-supplied dts - can override this property to reflect the actual configuration.
