clk: provide prepare/unprepare functions
As discussed previously, there's the need on some platforms to run some parts of clk_enable() in contexts which can schedule. The solution which was agreed upon was to provide clk_prepare() and clk_unprepare() to contain this parts, while clk_enable() and clk_disable() perform the atomic part. This patch provides a common definition for clk_prepare() and clk_unprepare() in linux/clk.h, and provides an upgrade path for existing implementation and drivers: drivers can start using clk_prepare() and clk_unprepare() once this patch is merged without having to wait for platform support. Platforms can then start to provide these additional functions. Eventually, HAVE_CLK_PREPARE will be removed from the kernel, and everyone will have to provide these new APIs.
