Right, makes sense.

I guess I was thinking in terms of the "hard" controller. In that case,
without a clock you're not going to get an interrupt in the first place
since it is not a shared line (nor a shared clock). But that is not the
case for the "soft" controller, so keeping the clk_prepare_enable()
prior to registering the interrupt is a good idea. Sorry for the noise
Suresh!

That did make me check the flags for devm_request_irq(), which needs to
be changed to support shared IRQs. The handler already checks to make
sure that it's its interrupt so we just need that small change in probe.

Thanks,
