Ccframework is up when calling this. I suggest to call clk_is_enabled and 
also skip the fixup if it isn't. Clk_prepare_enable ist quite useless, as 
register contents will suffer what this workaround is about. I send an 
updated v2 later but someone will have to test as I don't have kirkwood 
around till next week.
