I can't find any hint in the TRM that disabling the clocks is required
for clamping/powergating.
All occurrences of those clock requirements are in regard to a
synchronous reset propagation. So there is no requirement that the
clocks need to be _disabled_ at a certain time, but actually they just
need to be _enabled_ whenever the PMC is trying to drive the resets in
any way.
Obviously the power savings might be higher when the peripheral drivers
properly disable any unused clocks in suspend, but that can be solved on
a case by case basis I think.
