Remember that clk_prepare_enable() calls both ->prepare() and ->enable() for the clock, and ->prepare() is allowed to sleep, while ->enable() is guaranteed not to sleep. Therefore, clk_prepare() is usually called at probe time, while clk_enable() is called whenever enabling/disabling the clock is really needed. So not all clk_enable() can transparently be converted into a clk_prepare_enable().
