+       Part 6 - Disabling clock gating of unused clocks
+
+Sometimes during development it can be useful to be able to bypass the
+default disabling of unused clocks. For example, if drivers aren't enabling
+clocks properly but rely on them being on from the bootloader, bypassing
+the disabling means that the driver will remain functional while the issues
+are sorted out.
+
+To bypass this disabling, include "clk_ignore_unused" in the bootargs to the
+kernel.
