NAK.  This is buggy.  clk_prepare() can sleep.  Calling clk_prepare()
even via clk_prepare_enable() is a blatent bug.

Now, given that the CLK API counts enables/disables, having the spin lock
around the clk API calls is utterly pointless.  This should be:

	ret = clk_prepare_enable(host->mck);
	if (ret)
		goto out;

	spin_lock_bh(&host->lock);
	memcpy_fromio(buf, host->regs, ATMCI_REGS_SIZE);
	spin_unlock_bh(&host->lock);

	clk_disable_unprepare(host->mclk);

or, if you really need to have the clock enabled/disabled within the
spinlock (very very very unlikely):

	ret = clk_prepare(host->mck);
	if (ret)
		goto out;

	spin_lock_bh(&host->lock);
	ret = clk_enable(host->mck);
	if (ret == 0) {
		memcpy_fromio(buf, host->regs, ATMCI_REGS_SIZE);
		clk_disable(host->mck);
	}
	spin_unlock_bh(&host->lock);

	clk_unprepare(host->mclk);
	if (ret)
		goto out;

Again, buggy - calling clk_prepare beneath a spinlock is illegal.
