Good catch. I noticed  that common clock framework uses a more elaborate
mechanism to allow nested clock API calls (see clk_prepare_lock()), but
we don't (yet) have that issue in mach-davinci since the recursive calls
are still in mach-davinci and dont need the exported API to be
recursively callable.

The patch looks okay to me, except couple of minor adjustments.

Now that this function is going to be used outside of this file, lets
drop the __ naming convention and call this davinci_clk_enable() in line
with how other davinci-local clock APIs are named. Same thing for the
disable counterpart.

Also, the making these function non-static should be a patch of its own.

Thanks,
Sekhar
