Yea, I'll add the is_enabled check to the APLL and repost.

Well, personally I don't mind, but if you think this would be good, I'll 
add this to next rev.

I think the clockdomain stuff should be possible to move to wherever CM 
driver is going to move. drivers/power/omap/... or something maybe. I 
have been starting some initial work on the CM driver cleanup for this 
purpose.

This is probably harder, I think Tony is better to comment here, but my 
idea is that in the worst case we can just break non-conforming drivers 
by dropping the clkdev tables if nothing else helps. :) Most of the 
tables are currently needed by hwmod, and there are already patches 
around for adding DT clock support for hwmods, so once these go in, we 
can at least reduce the table sizes considerably already.
