Hello Mark
Apologies for a late reply. I will incorporate most of your comments.

Since clock is not enabled before this step, we won't be getting any 
interrupts from HW at this stage.

register_controller also allocates controller's TX/RX ring buffers. 
These rings are needed when devices start
reporting present on the bus once they are enabled.
So register_controller needs to be done before enabling any devices.
All steps after register_controller in this function are related to 
enabling various internal component devices
(e.g. framer, interface, manager devices) of this slimbus controller.

Thank you for your comments
Sagar
