Nope, the mutex is taken before entering this block of code. What is strange
then? clk_core_prepare() doesn't touch prepare mutex, there is also
a clk_core_prepare_lock() function, which takes it.

Well, CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE doesn't affect preparing/enabling parent 
clock if
child clock has been already prepared/enabled. That's all that this fix 
do, so
I don't know what do you mean by bypassing the CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE 
feature.
