Ok, understood. I will go through each one of the CCM registers and
check what clocks can be turned off.

This may take some time though as it needs proper testing.

I suggest that we keep the current clock settings as is, so that the
board support can reach U-boot, then later I can submit a patch for
turning off the unneeded clocks.

Thanks,
