So I've skimmed through a number of rk3288 device-schematics and
at least there pwm-based logic-regulator is only part of some of the
rk808-based designs. All the act8846-based boards use one of its
regulator-outputs for the logic supply. So this matters for at least the
veyron-boards and the rk3288-evb ... but not the phycore.

But it also is part of a vital system for veyron and they won't really like
if somewhere during probe the pwm-clock gets turned off ;-) .

So I tend to agree with Doug and will just apply the make-critical patch.
If Stephen's "handoff" clock-type [critical until a driver claims it]
materializes some-time, we can switch to that.
