On all the SoCs where this driver is used the clocks are managed through clock 
PM domains. The clock PM domain registration is done though the drivers at [1] 
or [2].

The genpd registered by those drivers are passing GENPD_FLAG_PM_CLK flag to the
pm_genpd_init(). In that case the start/stop APIs of the genpd are
pm_clk_suspend/pm_clk_resume [3].

Thus, we can make use of runtime PM APIs to request, enable, disable the clocks 
using generic runtime PM APIs.

Every time this driver calls runtime suspend/resume APIs this goes down to the 
IP clocks and clk_disable()/clk_enable() them.

Since we are relying on clock PM domains there is no need to implement runtime 
suspend/resume ops for this driver that does just only 
clock_disable()/clk_enable(), thus, the final code is simpler. We only request 
the tclk as we need to compute the bus rate based on it.

Thank you,
Claudiu
