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'
Hi, This series fixes two issues in the gs101 clocking / uart handling & related device tree binding: 1) the binding omitted specifying the required number of clocks for the UART 2) an incorrect work-around in the gs101 clock driver The 2nd point is essentially the last remaining patch [1] with all review comments addressed, from the series [2] that was sent earlier this year, see lore links below. As requested, I'm also documenting (in the binding) the hand-over issue between earlycon and (real) console driver that we have on gs101, see [3]. While doing that, I noticed the omission mentioned in point 1) above, hence this series. To avoid confusion, I'm marking this whole series as v3 because the patch to clk-gs101.c had been sent as v2 previously, and this supersedes it.
