It would be better to use the driver core or syscore suspend/resume
hooks to restore the state of the clocks as they were when the system
was suspended. Plus it would make more sense to do this on a
case-by-case basis instead of assuming that all platforms have clocks
that are left on out of resume. It could still be generic by exporting
the clk_disable_unused() function to drivers so they can call it if they
need to but I don't see why we want to force this on every platform for
every suspend/resume cycle.
