MIPI_CLK to keep enable is for calibration logic to update results, but 
like I said calibration logic uses UART_FST_MIPI_CAL clock. So even in 
case if fail happens from sensor after having pads in LP-11 then, 
calibration logic will still be running but result update will not 
happen with clock disabled. But HW will not stuck as this is confirmed 
from HW designer.
