the relationship of clk_deny_idle() and clkdm_deny_idle().

It seems that we need to allow reset control drivers call
clk_deny_idle() for the duration of reset. And it seems the
clk_deny_idle() should propagate to also up to the related
clock domain driver to do clkdm_deny_idle().

So maybe clk_deny_idle() is could just be something like:

dev = clk_get_device(clk);
...
error = pm_runtime_get(dev);
...
pm_runtime_put(dev);
...

And that way it would just propagate to the parent clock
domain driver and the clock framework does not need to know
about clockdomains. A clockdomain could be just a genpd
domain.

Or do you guys have better ideas?
