It might, but then way that I wanted to see it is so that I can make
assumptions about the device state. From a driver perspective, what I
would love to see is the ability to assume that when my probe gets
called the device is already enabled. So if you can make sure that
clk_enable() happens before my probe and that you call
pm_runtime_set_active() before my probe too, then I can more than
hapilly remove clk_* calls from the driver ;-)

either that or maintain the driver like so:

probe()
{
	...

	clk_get(dev, "fck");
	clk_prepare(clk);
	clk_enable(clk);
	pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
	pm_runtime_enable(dev);
	pm_runtime_get_sync(dev);
	...
}

runtime_suspend()
{
	clk_disable(dev);
}

runtime_resume()
{
	clk_enable(dev);
}

note that because of pm_runtime_set_active() that first
pm_runtime_get_sync() in probe() will simply increase the reference
counter without calling my ->runtime_resume() callback, which is exactly
what we want, as that would completely avoid situations of bad context
being restored because of that initial pm_runtime_get_sync().

Then, we can even make pm_runtime completely async easily, because
clk_prepare() was called only on probe() (or before it, for that
matter).

Bottomline is, if you can guarantee me that clk_get(), clk_prepare(),
clk_enable() and pm_runtime_set_active() will be called properly before
my probe, i'll be more than happy to comply with your request above as
that will greatly simplify my driver.

Just make, also, that if this clock is shared between dwc3-keystone
wrapper and dwc3 core, you clk_get() on both driver's probe.

cheers
