The switch-case only has one match, plus a default. Will there be others
in the future? Otherwise it can be replaced with an if-statement.

Does this prepare callback "enable" a clock? E.g does a line NOT toggle
at a rate prior to this call, and then after this call completes that
same line is now toggling at a rate?

Is doing nothing the right thing to do? Could power be saved somehow if
the .unprepare callback really gets called? Remember that if .unprepare
actually runs (because struct clk->prepare_count == 0) then the next
call to clk_prepare will actually call your .prepare callback and set up
the prereq clocks again. So the prereq clock initialization is no longer
a one-time thing, which might afford you some optimizations.

Mike
