Yep. They are more or less the same. I didn't know about this.
I lack the include though, which seems the right thing to do.

But I see a problem in your case:

I see a problem here. If one of those clk_enable fails, you return with the 
mutex still being locked. That's why I lock/unlock the mutex the last/first in 
prepare/unprepare.

Best regards,
