Multiple clocks is not new functionality, it's the common case for the
bulk of the platforms, and something that is already presently handled.

An admirable plan, but the framework needs to be able to provide at least
the current required level of functionality in order for it to be
adopted, too.

The before and after changes here are not functionally equivalent. You've
gone from an explicit multi-clock scheme to a single encapsulated one via
pm_runtime_clock_suspend().

Almost every single SH IP block is likewise abstracted in to a function
and interface clock, and OMAP and others are where we modelled this
abstraction on top of in the first place, so there are certainly users
there too.
