If a clock is not present imx_rproc_probe() will fail, the clock will remain
unused and Linux will switch it off.  I think that is description of what is
happening.

If my understanding of the problem is correct (see above), I think the real fix
for this is to make the "clocks" property mandatory in the bindings.

Daniel and Iuliana, I'd like to have your opinions on this.
