Yes! I really don't like the name "PM" clock, since it's not at all
obvious what that means. To me, "PM" == "functional" as well.

So what exactly are we talking about with "PM" clocks, and why are they
"special" when it comes to PM domains? IOW, why are the clocks to be
managed during PM domain transitions for a given device any different
than the clocks that need to be managed for a runtime suspend/resume (or
system suspend/resume) sequence for the same device?
