Even if it's not much power, it seems like we should still turn it off
and on in the right place.  Unless I'm mistaken it should be such a
simple patch provide the clock to the right driver and then get the
clock when appropriate.

Does that mean you're going to make these all critical clocks?  That
doesn't sound so great...
