Ok, I understand your idea now... I have gotten myself tangled up.

Yes, I just want to express that judging CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE seems unnecessary here.

At first, I couldn't grasp the logic behind the 'return' here. Now it's
clear. This approach is equivalent to completely giving up on
handling clocks with CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE feature in
clk_disable_unused_subtree().
