The WARN_ON could be nice to have, but I think this is a task for PM
core to handle.

Copying flags shouldn't be needed for each an every instance of a
driver/bus that manage irq_safe devices. That's my main point.

Sorry, agree. :-)

For irq_safe devices, driver's will need to handle the
clk_prepare|unprepare during system PM anyway. That's the reason to
why I suggested this.

On the other hand I agree with you, it's a bus clock...

Kind regards
