Sorry for the late replay. Trying to protect gsbi4 clk cause the uart serial to
not work at all as it can't be used by the driver. If for some 
reason some dev decide to not use gsbi4 uart, GSBI4_CLK gets disabled 
(as it would be not used), this is the reason of the IGNORE_UNUSED. 
I really can't find another way to keep both gsbi4 protected and and permit
gsbi4 uart to use it.
