this is good point and, in fact, a doubt I have myself. How are we
supposed to check if device is suspended ? In case it _is_ suspended we
might not be able to read device's registers due to clocks possibly
being gated.

Also, considering that some drivers are used in multiple platforms and
those might behave differently when it comes to clock handling, how do
we do that ? Should we require drivers to explicitly clk_get();
clk_prepare_enable(); pm_runtime_set_active(); pm_runtime_enable() ?

While that's doable, I don't see how that'd be doable for OMAP since
they want to hide clock handling from drivers.

Any tips ?
