Yes, I agree with you.

"Instead of describing the action, provide the reasoning behind it."

I will incorporate your feedback in the upcoming version.

But that's how things happen. For previous clocks on other platforms, we
assumed that the PLL could be initialized multiple times: once from the
bootloader and once from Linux. We didn't have the ability to disable
initialization from the Linux side before, so it meant that multiple
initializations were potentially possible by default.

I have been considering this name and its derivatives, such as:

    CLK_MESON_PLL_SKIP_ENABLED
    CLK_MESON_PLL_NOINIT_ENABLED
    CLK_MESON_PLL_INIT_DISABLED_ONLY

However, I find all of these names to be quite long and bulky. It
reminded me of the WARN_ONCE() function, which ensures that a warning
message is only printed once. In my opinion, the name "INIT_ONCE"
accurately reflects the situation.  Nevertheless, if it is your
requirement for me to change the flag name, I am more than willing to do
so, it's not a problem.
