Nice catch! It looks like it fixes an optimization, where we don't want
to run through and check has_state_changed() if this clk is already
enabled or disabled. But how does this ever happen? The clk framework
already reference counts prepare/unprepare, so how can we get into this
function when the condition would be true, after this patch?

I think we can simply remove the if condition entirely. Do you agree?
