Why not just keep clk_rx enabled unconditionally or unconditionally stop
it during suspend? I guess that might be part of a larger cleanup and
has more side effects?

I'd guess the follow-up refactor would target next?

This seems pretty small and targeted so it does make sense to me as a
net fix, but it definitely feels like a workaround.

I look forward to reading the cleanup patch mentioned.
