omap_hwmod_[enable/disable]_clocks() use mutex inside & therefore cannot
be used in the ISR context

We cannot readily use the _enable_clocks/_disble_clocks directly as they are
static APIs.

But we can use the non-mutex versions, of omap_hwmod_enable/idle.
(_omap_hwmod_enable/_omap_hwmod_disable)

Do you agree?
