Please look the at suspend/resume code and count the
clock_enable/disable manually. After a suspend/resume cycle, you have
enabled the clock twice, but disabled it once.

I think you have to abstract the clock handling behind runtime PM. I
haven't done this myself yet, but the strong feeling that this is a
possible solution to your problem. These links might help:
