Maybe its hiding somewhere, but where is the clk_prepare_enable() for
this cpu_clk clock?

Well the clocks are always enable. In the clock framework, the cpu clocks
don't provide an enable function.

Is it possible in the hardware to disable them? Turning them off might
save some power. If these chips end up in some data center server, it
might be that CPU hotplugging is used.

But maybe it is cleaner to call clk_prepare_enable() even if it does
nothing except update the usage count.

You also have to watch out for the late_initcall which will disable
all clocks which are running but nobody has claimed. This will become
an issue if you do have enable/disable function in later versions of
the clock functions.
