I'll leave it up to Heiko for what to do here.  I agree that it's not
tons of power (this whole patch saved 1-2 mW on the INT rail) but I'd
still prefer for clocks to be off if they can.  In general one could
also argue that keeping JTAG off by default could be good for
security.

...but I guess I have to wonder how you're doing JTAG on upstream
kernels without any extra patches anyway.  Automatic JTAG switching is
turned off in "drivers/soc/rockchip/grf.c".  ...and by default the
JTAG signals are muxed as the SD Card.  So presumably you've already
got extra patches in order to make JTAG work.

I assume that the clocks that are important for JTAG are "atclk",
"jtag", "pclk_dbg", and "pclk_core_niu".

Perhaps it's just a typo, but you say "If need to enable".  I see no
evidence that these clocks need to be enabled unless there is code
touching memory controller registers.  Thus we don't need to enable
them so they don't need to be critical.

I don't know what a "recovery test" is and I don't understand your logs.

Can you explain we do not run into this on Chromebooks?

Can't you just add a patch to the dwc2 driver to have it grab this
clock?  I assume this clock doesn't need to be turned on unless you're
using the OTG contoller in a certain way?


NOTE: nowhere in your responses did you talk about why
"hsicphy12m_xin12m" needed to be marked as IGNORE_UNUSED.  I guess
you're OK with removing that?
