Currently the i2c-tegra bus driver prepares, enables

This patch moves clk_prepare/unprepare and clk_set_rate calls to
the probe function, leaving only clk_enable/disable to be
done on each transfer. This solves the locking issue.

However, the new code sets the clock rate after the clock is prepared. I
think the rate should be set first, then the clock prepared. While this
likely doesn't apply to the Tegra clock controller, prepare() is allowed
to enable the clock if enable() can't be implemented in an atomic
fashion (in which case enable/disable would be no-ops), and we should
make sure that the driver correctly configures the clock before
potentially enabling it.
I'm not sure if a similar change to our SPI drivers is possible; after
all, the SPI transfer rate can vary per message, so if clk_set_rate()
acquires a lock, it seems there's no way to avoid the issue there.
Luckily, we don't have any SPI-based chips that do anything related to
clocks on any of our current boards...
Aside from this issue, the patch looks fine to me.
