Do you think that other boards would also benefit from this change? If
so, what do you think about putting the call to register_pm_notifier()
inside an __init block in clk.c so that this same change doesn't have to
be implemented across various clk drivers?

Alternatively, if this is board specific, could this be fixed in the
boot loader so that the clock that's not used by Linus is properly shut
down on resume?

I'm not the subsystem maintainer, so I'm not asking you to make any of
these changes.
