Is clk_enable ever called for emac_clk here?  I don't see it in the
diff.  clk_prepare and clk_enable should usually be paired, even if
simply calling clk_prepare generates the clock signal that your device
needs.

Also this change only calls clk_prepare at probe-time and clk_unprepare
at remove-time.  Preparing a clock can result in power consumption.
With that in mind should your implementation be more aggressive about
calling clk_{un}prepare?

Mike
