Basically I use thermal testing.

# git clone https://git.linaro.org/power/pm-qa.git
# cd pm-qa
# make -C thermal check

most of the testcase failed on Exynos5422 but some pass on Exynos4412.

Attach is the software overview from Exynos5422 user manual.

I am not able to explain in deep technically, but I have studied other thermal
driver to draw into conclusion that tmu clk's need to be enabled.

If you feel the we should not enable these clk, them I will drop the
clk_prepare_enable check
and resubmit the changes with better commit message.

Best Regards
