As the author of the clk API, the idea here is that clk_prepare()
should always be called _before_ clk_enable() for any clock: in
other words, getting a clock and then calling clk_enable() on it
is not legal.

CCF presently enforces this - clk_enable() without a preceding
clk_prepare() will return -ESHUTDOWN.
