I think Nicolin's suggestion was to check for a clock named "ipg". If it
exists, you can simply use devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk(). Otherwise you
could fallback to the old behaviour and get the first clock and enable
it without disabling it after the probe function.

After that, you could add the clock-names property to the devicetrees
and have the same result.

No. We export ac97 read/write ops for the whole AC97 stuff. These may be
used outside of the usual startup/shutdown which is done for substreams.
It may work to have the ipg clock enabled in
fsl_ssi_ac97_read/fsl_ssi_ac97_write.

Best regards,

Markus
