Subject: i2c: xiic: Strange clk_prepare_enable() in xiic_i2c_remove()

Dear Shubhrajyoti,

Looking at 36ecbcab84d0 ("i2c: xiic: Implement power management")
it is not clear why clk_prepare_enable(i2c->clk) is required in
xiic_i2c_remove()?

It is enabled in xiic_i2c_probe() and disabled/enabled in
cdns_i2c_runtime_suspend()/cdns_i2c_runtime_resume().

Could you please clarify the point.
