This looks potentially dangerous. What if runtime PM is disabled for the
clk when this function is called? Shouldn't we just stash a bool away in
the clk_core structure when it's registered? And then we can replace the
check for !core->dev with a check for 'core->rpm_enabled' instead. That
would be a more exact transformation.
