NAK. This is buggy. clk_prepare() can sleep. Calling clk_prepare()
even via clk_prepare_enable() is a blatent bug.

Now, given that the CLK API counts enables/disables, having the spin lock
around the clk API calls is utterly pointless. This should be:

ret = clk_prepare_enable(host->mck);
if (ret)
goto out;

spin_lock_bh(&host->lock);
memcpy_fromio(buf, host->regs, ATMCI_REGS_SIZE);
spin_unlock_bh(&host->lock);

clk_disable_unprepare(host->mclk);

or, if you really need to have the clock enabled/disabled within the
spinlock (very very very unlikely):

ret = clk_prepare(host->mck);
if (ret)
goto out;

spin_lock_bh(&host->lock);
ret = clk_enable(host->mck);
if (ret == 0) {
memcpy_fromio(buf, host->regs, ATMCI_REGS_SIZE);
clk_disable(host->mck);
}
spin_unlock_bh(&host->lock);

clk_unprepare(host->mclk);
if (ret)
goto out;

Again, buggy - calling clk_prepare beneath a spinlock is illegal.
