That's coming from some existing ARM shmobile code.

There are two alternatives, one not to do any clock management at all
when CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is unset, the other to remove the "put" from
enable_clock(), but then disable_clock() would need to do "put" twice.
I didn't think any of them was better than the current code.

Yes, it is.

I guess that's with CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME unset, right?

Sorry about that, the appended patch should fix the issue.

Thanks,
