The other option is to just always turn the clk on and leave it enabled
forever. I believe Bjorn had to use runtime PM because the clk would
turn off when the subsystem was reset. Maybe in the GPU case that isn't
true so we can just turn on the AHB and not try anything else. If that
works then I'd prefer that so we can save on code/data size.
