No, it does not (verified by /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary during
transfer).

Ok...

The gated clock implementation requires use of an I/O register, which I don't
have in this case (an I2C connected device).

I considered implementing full clk_hw set of operations, but decided against
it: it's a lot for this simple configuration. Few other drivers do that, too.
