Nice! I used somehow similar procedure for clk-exynos850, doing
basically the same thing, but in core clock driver code.

Glad you weren't discouraged by my meticulousness :) In clk-exynos850
I usually used CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED for clocks like XXX_CMU_XXX (in your
case it's PERIC0_CMU_PERIC0), with a corresponding comment. Those
clocks usually can be used to disable the bus clock for corresponding
CMU IP-core (in your case CMU_PERIC0), which makes it impossible to
access the registers from that CMU block, as its register interface is
not clocked anymore. Guess I saw something similar in Exynos5433 or
Exynos7 clk drivers, or maybe Sylwester or Krzysztof told me to do so
-- don't really remember. For AXI clock it also seems logical to keep
it running (AXI bus might be used for GIC and memory). But again,
maybe CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED flag would be more appropriate that
CLK_IS_CRITICAL? For the last two clocks -- it's hard to tell what
exactly they do. Is TOP1 some other CMU or block name, and is there
any further users for those clocks?
Anyways, if you are working on v2, please consider doing next two
things while at it:
1. For each critical clock: add corresponding comment explaining why
it's marked so
2. Consider using CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED instead of CLK_IS_CRITICAL when
appropriate; both have their use in different cases
Btw, if you check other Exynos clk drivers, there is a lot of examples
for flags like those.
