AIUI, the clk_prepare patch is certainly a requirement for Tegra's
conversion to common clock; I believe that a clk_enable() without a
preceding clk_prepare() will fail since it's an invalid call sequence.
I'm not 100% sure yet, but I hope Prashant will post patches to
convert Tegra to common clock in time for 3.6, so having all the
driver clk_prepare in a branch prior to the common clock conversion is
required.

Yes, Laxman's changes should be able to go through I2C without a
problem. We can try this out without any cross-merged topic branches
and try resolving in arm-soc for now. If there turns out to be an
issue, we can always rebase the Tegra and/or I2C for-next branches to
fix it up.
