NACK for this patch.

Here are code snippets from clk framework:
============================================================================
/* clk_prepare_enable helps cases using clk_enable in non-atomic context. */
static inline int clk_prepare_enable(struct clk *clk)
{
	int ret;

	ret = clk_prepare(clk);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
	ret = clk_enable(clk);
	if (ret)
		clk_unprepare(clk);

	return ret;
}

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk)
{
	if (!clk)
		return 0;

	return clk_core_prepare_lock(clk->core);
}

int clk_enable(struct clk *clk)
{
	if (!clk)
		return 0;

	return clk_core_enable_lock(clk->core);
}
============================================================================

As you can see, complete code path is NULL resistant. Are you trying to
fix some real issue, or it is a theoretical work?
