Hi Krzysztof,

In this case, platform driver need to get this PLL clock and keep it
enabled always. As PLL_CAM_CSI is source clock for accessing CMU
registers of CSI block, and PLL_CAM_CSI itself lies in CSI_CMU,
driver need to prepare and keep it enabled always. This way other PCLK
and ACLK clocks can be gated. But the PLL_CAM_CSI which is parent of the
PCLK and ACLK gate clock won't be disabled. Hope this should not be a
concern.
