CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED only prevents a given clock from being gated at
late_initcall time, but will not prevent it from being gated later in
the life of the system, for example if a reparenting occurs, or if all
the clocks sharing the same clock tree become disabled.

If your clock really should never ever be gated in order for Linux to
operate properly, you should use CLK_IS_CRITICAL.
