Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

I'm still not convinced this is the right place. I do see your point. But it 
just feels wrong to enable the clock in hw_params. It's a bit of a dilemma. 
the startup callback is to early, hw_params is the wrong place and we can't 
put it in the trigger callback as the trigger callback can not sleep.

But in any way hwparmas can be called multiple times, so you need to handle 
the case where the clock is already enabled.

This should probably be moved to the trigger callback though.
