This is a *weird* and most likely broken set of dependencies - why
exclude this if we're on Octeon (or Octeon happens to have been enabled
in a config)?

This is really not clever - we should be requesting clocks on probe, not
only when we're trying to enable them, and using devm_ outside of probe
paths is usually a warning sign too.  Now, this is actually called from
probe so it works out fine but obviously it'd be better to improve the
power management to only enable the clock when needed and at that point
this function will be used and we'll fall into a bad pattern.

Given how tiny this function is and that we've not bothered splitting
out any of the other resource acquisition it's probably better to just
inline it into probe.

Again, this is just adding noise to the boot log.

The define for the device ID doesn't seem to be adding much here.
