Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] clk: core: refine disable unused clocks

hi Jerome:

     Tranks for your REF. I looked at your patch and there are some 
parts that I don't quite understand: The original intention of 
CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE was to solve the issue of "parents need enable 
_during _gate/ungate, set rate and re-parent" when setting a clock. After setting 
the clock, it can still be disabled. However, from what I see in your 
patch, the handling logic seems more like "parents need _always _ gate 
during clock gate period"?

This judgment of CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE seems redundant. According to
normal logic, if the parent is disabled, its children will also be
forced to disable. This seems unrelated to whether CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE
is configured.😳
