For devices where ahci_platform_data provides suspend() there is an unbalance
in clk enable/disable calls. The suspend path does not disable the clk, but
the resume path enables it. This commit fixes it by always disabling the clk
in the suspend path independent of there being an ahci_platform_data suspend
method.

On all drivers currently using a suspend method, the suspend method always
succeeds, so change its return type to void, to avoid having the introduce
somewhat complex error handling paths.

The disabling of the clock on suspend is a functional change, to ensure this
is ok I've audited all drivers using ahci_platform_data:

arch/arm/mach-davinci/devices-da8xx.c: Does not use a suspend method
arch/arm/mach-spear/spear1340.c: Does not use the clock framework
drivers/ata/ahci_imx.c: Does have suspend and resume pdata methods, these
disable / enable another clock, so likely it is ok to disable / enable the
clock at of-node index 0 as well, I've ordered a wandboard to be able to
test these changes.
This isn't your fault but similarly to the previous patch, I'd much
prefer if drivers which need custom ops just override the whole
operation and are allowed to use the default platform from their
custom implementations as they see fit.  Allowing partial overrides
seems like an efficient thing to do at the beginning but if you
continue to stack them, you eventually end up with giant pile of
methods where figuring out which code paths are actually executed
takes quite a bit of effort.  I'd really like to avoid that.

Thanks.
