That is decribing the code, which we can read. So not really helpful
Saying why you do it, like "Keep the clock running from the bootloader
stage and avoid glitching it ..." gives more context about what you are
trying to do.

I don't like INIT_ONCE. It gives the false impression that

* The PLL is going to be initialized once in Linux if it has the flag
* Is initialised multiple times otherwise 

I agree that currently that carefully reading the code clears that up
but it is misleading

CLK_MESON_PLL_EN_NOINIT ?
