Refine the definition around clk_ignore_unused, which caused some
confusion recently on the linux-fbdev and linux-arm-kernel mailing
lists[0].

clk_ignore_unused
[CLK]
Keep all clocks already enabled by bootloader on,
even if no driver has claimed them. This is useful
for debug and development, but should not be
needed on a platform with proper driver support.
For more information, see Documentation/clk.txt.
Prevents the clock framework from automatically gating
clocks that have not been explicitly enabled by a Linux
device driver but are enabled in hardware at reset or
by the bootloader/firmware. Note that this does not
force such clocks to be always-on nor does it reserve
those clocks in any way. This parameter is useful for
debug and development, but should not be needed on a
platform with proper driver support. For more
information, see Documentation/clk.txt.
