I approve of your suggestion. I will make the next patch.

On all meson platforms, the default pclk for all UART is turned on
during the u-boot phase. When registering uart pclk in the kernel phase,
the CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED flag is added. So the real shutdown is when the
standby goes down, the parent clk shuts down.

So do I need to wait for [0] patch merged before I can continue to make
changes ?
What can I do before?

I quite agree with your suggestion. I'll do as you suggest.
