That doesn't solve the irq_safe problem that Stephen pointed out without
being very careful. Basically, if you have _any_ potentially sleeping
calls in this path, you can never allow devices to use
pm_runtime_irq_safe().
Also, I don't like having the clk_enable in the PM core but the
clk_prepare in the platform-specific pm_domain. That seems prone for
platforms to get wrong.
I'll need to think about this a little more before having any idea what
to do here.
