I tend to agree.
I would like to know any such case where enabling/disabling of some
clock is so urgent as to require doing from ISR and not from a tasklet
scheduled from ISR.
Also let us not make it impossible in future to switch to common clock api
by Jeremy Kerr, that doesn't allow calls from IRQ context.
