That's a really good point. I'll make some time for this in the next weeks.
Please mark it with changes requested in the meantime, as I expect to 
make changes to the patch when I have a result.

On our board it works fine without it, I don't know enough about this 
SoC or other NXP SoCs to know if it's necessary in other situations.

The clocks are re-enabled in the open call which appears to be enough to 
get traffic going again when the link is brought up.

Perhaps NXP can fill us in?
