It works fine at least on MSM8916/DB410c (for blsp_dma) and MDM9607
(blsp_dma and qpic_dma (for NAND)). More testing would be much
appreciated of course!

Personally I don't see much of a risk: If enabling the clock doesn't
actually enable the BAM controller, then the clock probably does not
belong to the BAM in the first place... :)
