Do we really need powerdown? Dunno :). I would expect one of unprepare/disable to
take care of that. Moreover, imagine userspace powers down the device while an in
kernel consumer was using it? Not cool right ehhe?

Even the frequency_resolution is arguable as that is also a DT property but to keep
consistency why not? That one I can live with...

Also note that you're still not including the clock maintainers in the loop.
