Right, I'll add the some more info into the commit message about the
clock being handled by the ICE driver.

The ICE clock is now being controlled by the new driver.

I just tested this and it works as expected, which is:

ICE clock gets enable on qcom_ice_create (via *clk_get*_enabled) and
then, on the runtime suspend of the UFS, the qcom_ice_suspend is called
which will disable the clock. Then, every time UFS runtime
resumes/suspends the clock gets enabled/disabled.

Hope that makes sense.

Let me know if you think I'm missing something here.
