I can add a comment, no problem.

This issue is not related to the panfrost driver at all. Panfrost driver 
simply enables and disables the clock of its HW module. It is nothing 
extraordinary.

The real issue here is that some SoC internal busses (not assigned to 
any driver at all) are sourced from the same MUX, which that patch 
flagged as CRITICAL without any additional gates, thus if the only 
client of that MUX disables its gate clock, the whole path up to the 
root PLL is disabled what causes the HW issue. The driver (or user via 
dts) might change the root PLL, so that CRITICAL flag cannot be moved to 
the top clock in this hierarchy.

I can change that CRITICAL flag to a explicit call to 
clk_prepare_enable() during exynos542x-clk driver probe, but IMHO the 
flag better fits in such case.

I'm not sure if the issue can be properly addressed in a better way. The 
main problem here is that the whole clock topology for Exynos5422 SoCs 
is not fully documented in datasheet (especially the relation of the 
clocks and SoC's power domains) and the driver doesn't also fully model 
it, because other Exynos542x HW module drivers doesn't expect such fine 
grained clocks (mainly for historical compatibility).

I can take a look how to better model some problematic parts, but this 
won't be a simple, single patch. The issue mitigated by this patch 
already prevents v5.5-rc1 from booting with the default 
exynos_defconfig/multi_v7_defconfig, so I would like to merge it as a 
fix for v5.5 first.

Best regards
