Aah, thanks for the heads-up. To explain, I first worked with a dirty
hack to alias the clock, and I definitely needed these extra calls then.

Later, I added the hwmod to move away from these hacks, and indeed, that
lets the pm runtime code handle the clock enabling. With that in place,
the patch we're talking about here is in fact unnecessary.

The second one though (the one that adds DT bindings) should go in.

I will send a separate one later that fixes the IS_ERR(data->clk) error
that Russell spotted. But that's now unrelated.


Thanks for the review,
Daniel
