How? I need to handle clock at both ->probe and ->remove.

Get your point, so at coming code, we don't need to add condition
to enable optional clock.

I will pay attention to it, thanks.
At my dts example, it is like below, I just treat it at raw gpio
handling.

	usb_hub1 {
		compatible = "generic-onboard-hub";
		clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_CKO>;
		clock-names = "external_clk";
		hub-reset-active-high;
		hub-reset-gpios = <&gpio7 12 0>;
		hub-reset-duration-us = <2>;
	};

I will change it like below:
	usb_hub1 {
		compatible = "generic-onboard-hub";
		clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_CKO>;
		clock-names = "clk";
		reset-gpios = <&gpio7 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
		reset-duration-us = <2>;
	};

The USB HUB should be in ready state before controller
tries to talk with it, otherwise, it may has noise at
the bus during the HUB reset/power on process.
