Yeah, it's a decision about either adding a small cost to all clk_prepare()s
(ie, adding cost when there is no prepare callback), or checking for the
correct prepare/enable semantics for all clocks (even when it doesn't matter
for that particular clock). I chose the first as more important, but happy to
go either way here.
Cheers,
Jeremy
