And also the thing to check from the hw folks is what all do these clkctrl
bits really control. If they group together the OCP clock and an extra
functional clock for some devices the delays could be larger.

In general, I think we need to get rid of pm_runtime_irq_safe usage to
allow clocks to sleep properly. The other option is to allow toggling
pm_runtime_irq_safe but that probably gets super messy.
