I see what you mean. I looked a bit deeper.

The issue seems to be that my board comes up with 396MHz. The code
assumes that it switches to 396MHz and back again. When imx6q_set_target
is entered with 396MHz for the first time after startup then it calls
clk_disable_unprepare twice without having called clk_prepare_enable
twice before.
