Did you already implement 100% of clocks in CMU_PERIC0? If no, there
is a chance some other leaf clock (which is not implemented yet in
your driver) gets disabled as a result of PERIC0_IP disablement, which
might actually lead to that hang you observe. Usually it's some
meaningful leaf clock, e.g. GIC or interconnect clocks. Please check
clk-exynos850.c driver for CLK_IS_CRITICAL and CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED flags
and the corresponding comments I left there, maybe it'll give you more
particular idea about what to look for. Yes, making the whole CMU
always running without understanding why (i.e. because of which
particular leaf clock) might not be the best way of handling this
issue. I might be mistaken, but at least please check if you
implemented all clocks for PERIC0 first and if making some meaningful
leaf clock critical makes more sense.
