This is not exactly what the patch does, right?
I would expect a better description of what you do in the patch
and what are the consequences of this patch.
May be some of the consequences can be avoided?

I don't agree on this one.
This change breaks boards that are _correctly_ configured
prior to the patch.
As a consequence of this patch, there might be boards that
are not correctly configured and thus broken.
In other words, this patch breaks boards that rely on those clocks
being enabled.

Well, if I read the patch correctly, it does not enable anything.
It removes the unconditional configuration of some clocks...

Were there any discussions on this meter?
Can you please point me to a discussion on this?
Otherwise, the 'supposed' word here does not have a basis.
