I started under the assumption that current host drivers assumed
non-continuous clock (as the Tegra driver currently does). In that
light, it seemed to make sense (and to be less intrusive) to introduce
that flag as a restriction rather than a capability. But if you think
this should be a capability I am not strongly against it - either way,
host drivers need to be changed to take that flag into account.
