Hi Krzysztof,

Please see my comments inline.

Calling clk_prepare_enable() from enable() callback doesn't look like
a good idea, because enabling is not supposed to sleep, while
preparing might do so.

I guess you have to pre-prepare this clock in probe and then only call
enable here.

nit: static const probably?

As for the approach itself, maybe you should simply register fully
custom clocks with clk_register(), without altering
clk_register_gate() at all and simply calling gate ops whenever
necessary? I don't know, just a loose idea.

By the way, this issue could be probably solved by integrating generic
clocks with regmap API, since regmap-mmio can automatically control a
clock.
