Opps I could not explain some more in my commit message.

Actually TMU sensor for Exynos process are controlled by so external clk

Exynos4412 have VDD18_TS sensor which controls the CLK_SENSE tmu.
Exynos5422 have VDD18_TS01 / VDD18_TS23 / VDD18_TS4 sensor which
control the CLK_SENSE tmu.

So as per my understanding tmu is clk driver which control the flow  PMIC.

clk_prepare_enable combine clk_prepare and clk_enable
and clk_disable_unprepare combine clk_disable and clk_unprepare.

most of the driver prefer clk_prepare_enable and clk_disable_unprepare.

clk_summary is just a reference looking point where we could check the
clk is enable/disable.

what is broken ?
I still few more parameter need to tuned to configure the tmu driver.
