Yeah, this is the problem. Bypassing the kernel banging on memory
directly through /dev/mem does not leave any chance of enabling clocks on
demand through the proper interfaces.

Though, this is a valid workaround for the immediate problem, longer
term, you should consider adding some kind of proper kernel driver for
this interface that would then use the clock framework to control the
required clocks dynamically.
