Generally the opposite (ignoring unused clocks during the cleanup) is the thing you need to opt into. I can however see how (especially with the focus on not breaking things for older DTs) somebody else may also decide to only allow them to be cleaned up conditionally (by marking the clocks that were enabled earlier as enabled in Linux OR not addding clk.flags |= CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED) as we do here. Stephen, Rob, would `clk-disable-unused` be a fitting generic property name for that? Should we also think about `clk-ignore-unused` as a clock-controller-specific alternative to the CCF-wide clk_ignore_unused cmdline? Konrad > > Rob
