You misunderstand me. I talk about spi_setup, as
Documentation/spi/spi-summary, which would normally be called from
probe() before the first I/O is done to the device.
spi_setup will call spi_set_cs(spi, false), which introduced with commit
1a7b7ee72c21 ("spi: Ensure that CS line is in non-active state after
spi_setup()"). And spi_set_cs will call spi->master->set_cs, and set_cs
callback will access register. Without clk enable, I believe some
drivers will failed to run.
