You're right.  Will fix.

Looks like the jury is out on this one.

$ git grep clk_prepare_enable | grep '= clk\|if (' | wc -l
659
$ git grep clk_prepare_enable | grep -v '= clk\|if (' | wc -l
569

... but it's not a problem to fix up.  Will do.

Ah, you caught me!

I know these types of prints are usually deemed not useful; however,
unless there is a failure both this driver and the core driver are
silent, so the user doesn't know that 1 or more of these devices are
available.  I personally like to see an entry in the bootlog for this
kind of functionality.
