Hi Mike, Stephen, This patch series adds support for the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag to drivers for module clocks on Renesas ARM SoCs. For now, this is used to prevent disabling of the ARM GIC module clock, which would lead to a system lock-up when accessing the GIC's registers. 1. The first patch migrates the Renesas CPG/MSSR driver from the never merged CLK_ENABLE_HAND_OFF flag to the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag. Note that as the driver already handled critical clocks (i.e. it ignored them :-), this is not a prerequisite for linking the GIC to its module clock in DT. 2. The second patch makes sure the CLK_IS_CRITICAL flag is set for the INTC-SYS clock on SoCs not (yet) using the Renesas CPG/MSSR driver. Note that this is a hard dependency for describing the INTC-SYS clock in DT on R-Mobile APE6 and R-Car Gen2. I plan to queue these patches in my clk-renesas-for-v4.11 branch, if you agree. Thanks!
