There are likely to be different considerations for different drivers,
on some systems the power savings from managing the clocks may not be
meaingful or we may need the clocks for register access. In general
it's nicer to actively manage the clocks but it's not super urgent to do
so from a framework point of view, it's more a how much work the people
working on the individual drivers want to do and if there's a use case
for specific hardware.
