Right, I started looking at this with respect to the PM domain, but
my initial commit message only mentioned the need to make sure the
controller is resumed, which would have covered such interface clocks as
well. 

And while ending up with a concurrent request to disable the PM domain
is not that likely, there is currently nothing preventing it so it still
needs to be fixed.
