As I think I've said before I keep thinking we ought to just have some
basic runtime PM code in the core - a substantial proportion of drivers
end up following the same pattern, it'd be surprising to see hardware
that needed a different pattern.

I'm never convinced that NULL is a helpful clock name to pick, it's not
awesome if you ever acquire a second clock.
