According to Hardware designer this arbiter clock is also lagecy of
previous design and serve no function. And they are conneted to top_i2c
as well.

top_i2c-> CLK_INFRA_AO_I2C{1,2,5}_ARBITER

Also may I know the experiment that lead to the conclusion that you
need the ARBITER clock, and the clock tree is incorrect? I will bring
it back to discuss with our I2C owner.
