It might be worth doing this if you have to go to hardware to check the status, if you can read a cache then just using the register is less error prone. > >> + else > >> + clk_prepare(clk); > > Why is the clock driver defaulting to enabling the clock, and if it > > needs to shouldn't it be doing a prepere_enable() even if the enable > > happens not to do anything to the hardware?

That's not going to help consumers of the clock, you do need to move the operations to prepare() but users shouldn't need to know what happens in prepare() and what happens in enable(). You've also not addressed the comment about defaulting to enabling the clock in the first place.
