Not really in regmap itself - I think your best bet here is to move the
clock handling out of regmap and up into the driver.  regmap won't do
any I/O unless your driver calls it so this will work fine, this support
is only there in regmap as a convenience but if it's getting in the way
then you're probably going to be able to do a better job pushing this
into rutime PM in the driver or just having direct clock calls.
