NAK.  *Sigh* NO, this is the wrong level to be doing stuff like this.

The *ONLY* thing that clk_prepare_enable() and clk_prepare_disable() should
*EVER* be doing is calling clk_prepare(), clk_enable(), clk_disable() and
clk_unprepare().  Those two functions are *merely* helpers for drivers
who don't wish to make the individual calls.

Drivers are still completely free to call the individual functions, at
which point your proposal breaks horribly - and they _do_ call the
individual functions.
