In my opinion, the only major reason for needing atomic clk APIs was due

I really don't see a justification for atomic clocks. Sure, I might have  
missed some exceptions, but in that case we should make the atomic APIs  
an exception (add clk_enable_atomic) and not the norm.
The suspend method has never been atomic.  It has always been able to
sleep.  You're mistaken.
