I am not very familiar with the spin_lock_bh() variant, but are you
sure we are allowed to sleep within a spin_lock_bh()-protected critical
section?

Remember that clk_prepare_enable() calls both ->prepare() and
->enable() for the clock, and ->prepare() is allowed to sleep, while
->enable() is guaranteed not to sleep.

Therefore, clk_prepare() is usually called at probe time, while
clk_enable() is called whenever enabling/disabling the clock is really
needed. So not all clk_enable() can transparently be converted into a
clk_prepare_enable().

Best regards,

Thomas
