Few days ago I would be happy with your opinion :), but know I think
this is better solution than wrapper. Consider case:
1. PM_RUNTIME unset.
2. System suspends.
3. The pl330 in its suspend callback calls force_runtime_suspend which
leads us to amba/bus.
4. The amba/bus.c in runtime suspend checks for irq_safe (it is FALSE),
so it disables and unprepares the clock.
5. The pl330 in probe requested irq_safe so it assumes amba/bus will
only disable the clock. So the pl330 unprepares the clock. Again.
