The driver shouldn't be using another driver's device to do devm_
requests (or really to look anything up), that's just going to lead to
trouble like this - if it's got to look up another device's clocks it
should do a regular clk_get().  There will also potentially be problems
if the other device unregisters first and frees our clock underneath us,
and this will request multiple copies of the clock if we unbind and
rebind the imx-audmix driver.
