In my opinion, the only major reason for needing atomic clk APIs was due to device_ops->suspend being atomic. Since that's not the case anymore, 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.
