The clk_enable() is optional, users simply shouldn't use the internal
clock management with devices that it'll cause problems for.

The flat cache is there mostly for the benefit of things accessed from
interrupt context, it guarantees to never do any allocations and doesn't
lock.  You can also use other caches if you ensure that any registers
accessed in interrupt context are already cached so won't trigger any
new allocations.
