Yes, right. As per observation, we need to keep the output of AUDSS mux enabled to access the registers present in MAU block.

The interface clock is already part of the clock framework.

Right now, the clocks are registered with clk_register_mux, clk_register_div and clk_register_gate calls which in turn set appropriate clk_ops callbacks. If I need to wrap the register access during these clk_ops callbacks with clk_enable/clk_disable of interface lock, I would have to reimplement the clk_ops callbacks in clk-exynos-audss driver.
Is that the approach that you are suggesting?

There are 5 gate clocks within MAU block. While disabling the unused clocks, if CLK_MAU_EPLL is disabled first, then we are getting this system hang.
