If you take the view that trying to keep clocks disabled is a good way
to save power, then you'd have the clk_prepare() or maybe
clk_prepare_enable() in your runtime PM resume handler, or maybe even
deeper in the driver... the original design goal of the clk API was to
allow power saving and clock control.
With that in mind, getting and enabling the clock together in the
probe function didn't make sense.
I feel that aspect has been somewhat lost, and people now regard much
of the clk API as a bit of a probe-time nusience.
