Yes. I think we should just unconditionally enable/disable the per_clk
at function entry/exit. The prepare_enable() call is almost free
when the clk is already enabled, so it's not like we're adding a huge
overhead by doing that.

Well, the end result will be same (ipg_clk will be gone after patch 8),
but then it's hard to track why this clock suddenly disappeared.
I still think it's worth adding an extra commit explaining that
enabling the per_clk before accessing IP registers is needed on some
platforms (imx7), and that IPG clk is actually not required until we
start using it as a source for the PWM signal generation.

Maybe I'm the only one to think so. In this case, feel free to drop
patch 2.
