But why do you need to enable the clock?  The pl011 driver works fine 
for every platform without your patch.  If the ZTE platform needs to 
call clk_get() in order to work, than that is something different about 
your platform.

I think you need to create a separate patch that adds that call, and 
make sure it's tested by other platforms before it gets accepted.
