The clk that the commit from Kishon is freeing is the first "consumer
handle" that we make when a clk is registered. That is returned to
anyone that calls clk_register(), or if the provider decides to access
clk_hw::clk directly, which is not desired but still exists for
historical reasons. It is also used when drivers call clk_get_parent()
and that API currently fails to reference count or even create a
per-call clk pointer.
The general idea is that each user of clk_get() should get a different
struct clk pointer to use. The problem is we have this semi-internal
struct clk pointer that leaks out of clk_get_parent(), __clk_lookup()
and clk_register().
Maybe someone is calling clk_unregister() twice with the same pointer
they got through different ways? The macb driver does some questionable
things, like calling clk_register() and then putting the returned
pointer into *tx_clk, but only for the sifive implementation. After that
it does even odder things, like calling clk_unregister() on a clk that
probably shouldn't be unregistered, except for on the sifive platforms
that register it. Pretty horrifying that clk_unregister() gives any
consumer the power to destroy a clk from the system!
Can you try this patch? I think by fixing the leak we've discovered more
problems.

Presumably this is the
WARN_ON_ONCE(IS_ERR(clk))
in __clk_put()? Or is it the exclusive count check that is getting
tricked out because of page poisoning?
I guess we should put that in some sort of text form of warning instead
of a not so helpful line number.
