Actually its not. I should probably move it to a pm_runtime.c someplace
in drivers/soc/qcom maybe.

but these are devices which do not really have a controllable power
domain, they just have controllable clocks.

But that would mean I repeat the same code in all drivers to do a
clk_get/prepare/enable/disable/unprepare of the same "core" and "iface"
clocks. I thought we have clock_ops.c just to avoid that (atleast up
until we have a better way of doing it)
And there are atleast a few architecture which have used it to avoid the
duplication across all drivers (omap1/davinci/sh/keystone)
