The clk_core checks...

	if (dev && pm_runtime_enabled(dev))
		core->rpm_enabled = true;

...at __clk_register() time, and there's no way to enable it *later*, which
is something that may or may not be good for us.

We could call pm_runtime_enable() on the clock driver itself (so, in simple_probe)
but that's something I didn't want to do right now because this needs a rather big
amount of testing on multiple SoCs.

But yes I agree with you on that we still need to *flip the switch* to actually
enable rpm support. These commits are meant to make us able to do that in one line,
instead of one line per file :-P
