Earlier, since there were no consumers for this clock, it got
disabled via clk_disable_unused() and CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED helped
prevent that.

Now, since this clk is getting used indirectly via icc-clk
framework, it doesn't qualify for being disabled by
clk_disable_unused(). However, when icc_sync_state is called, if
it sees there are no consumers for a path and that path gets
disabled, the relevant clocks get disabled and eventually this
clock also gets disabled. To avoid this have changed 'flags' from
CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED -> CLK_IS_CRITICAL.
