I can't pretend to fully understand this driver, It looks like the
current code is doing a bit more fine-grained clock gating, and leaving
the IP clocked only when needed.

The proposed version does a 'get' in probe and a 'put' in remove, which
means the IP will always be enabled (and thus preventing low-power
states), even when it's not in use.

If that's really needed, it should be thoroughly described in the
changelog, otherwise I suggest doing the runtime PM 'get' and 'put' in
roughtly the same spots as the current clk enable/disable which makes
this a more straight-forward conversion.
