There is limitation in our internal design. That is in imx8 the power of
subsystem will be disabled at suspend, include the clock state , clock rate. 

I should not add it in comments,  please ignore them, I will change the
description.

This patch is to enable the pm runtime,  so I think it is better to move the
clock operation to pm runtime,  and close the clock at suspend to reduce
the power.
