Locking in the clk API

Hi all,
Based on the discussion from this thread, my plan is to:
* Change the 'common struct clk' patches to only use a spinlock for locking.
This means that clk_{en,dis}able will acquire a per-clk spinlock (for enable
counts), and be callable from atomic contexts.
* Rework the initial docs (posted in the first mail of this thread) document
to illustrate the new locking requirements.
* Request input from the platforms that require clk_enable (etc) to sleep,
about how we can merge the two implementations.
Russell - is this OK?
Cheers,
Jeremy
