That's not entirely correct. You enable there SCLK which is a "special
clock", not a "suspend clock". You use word "suspend: in multiple places
in commits making an impression that it is about some suspend clock...
no, there is no suspend clock.

There is however a clock which driver calls suspend_clk (but it is just
some name) and it is being enabled for entire lifetime of device (so
also during suspend). AFAIU, this is not needed for Exynos5422 but I am
not sure. So please convince me...

However I have still the same questions:
1. What problem are you trying to solve here?
2. Why this is needed?
3. What is fixed with this patch?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
