I think that it would be much better to check if earlycon is specified in kernel's cmdline and if so, simply mark those problematic clocks critical in this driver. Make this code hidden under IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON) to avoid polluting release builds. Any comments? Best regards

Good idea, I've found that i.MX appears to suffer from a similar problem, and I'm testing something similar now: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/clk/imx/clk.c#n157 Cheers, Andre'

The peric0_top1_ipclk_0 and peric0_top1_pclk_0 are the clocks going to peric0/uart_usi, with pclk being the bus clock. Without pclk running, any bus access will hang. Unfortunately, in commit d97b6c902a40 ("arm64: dts: exynos: gs101: update USI UART to use peric0 clocks") the gs101 DT ended up specifying an incorrect pclk in the respective node and instead the two clocks here were marked as critical. Since then, the DT has been updated to use the correct clock in commit 21e4e8807bfc ("arm64: dts: exynos: gs101: use correct clocks for usi_uart") and the driver here should be corrected and the work-around removed. Note that this commit has the side-effect of causing earlycon to stop to work sometime into the boot for two reasons: * peric0_top1_ipclk_0 requires its parent gout_cmu_peric0_ip to be running, but because earlycon doesn't deal with clocks that parent will be disabled when none of the other drivers that actually deal with clocks correctly require it to be running and the real serial driver (which does deal with clocks) hasn't taken over yet * hand-over between earlycon and serial driver appears to be fragile and clocks get enabled and disabled a few times, which also causes register access to hang while earlycon is still active (A wordier explanation can also be found in [1]) Nonetheless we shouldn't keep these clocks running unconditionally just for earlycon. Clocks should be disabled where possible. If earlycon is required in the future, e.g. for debug, this commit can simply be reverted (locally!).
