This doesn't make much sense to me. You're getting a clock and then
enabling it and then putting the clock? How can you be so sure that
clk_put() won't one day do some kind of lower power mode on the clock
when clk_put() is called on it? I don't think anyone does anything
today, but I don't think its safe to assume that clk_put() won't try to
forcibly shut off the clock once all clk_get() callers have clk_put().

Perhaps we should document the meaning of clk_enable() followed by
clk_put() somewhere instead?

This might not be as bad, but it looks like a similar problem.

Ah ok I see that it's coming from here.

BTW, whatever is in linux-next is failing to compile:

drivers/base/power/clock_ops.c:391: error: 'con_id' undeclared (first
use in this function)
drivers/base/power/clock_ops.c:391: error: (Each undeclared identifier
is reported only once
drivers/base/power/clock_ops.c:391: error: for each function it appears in.)
