Why do we have kfree() here? clk_get() doesn't allocate the data structure 
being freed here. What happens if we do clk_get(), clk_put(), clk_get() 
on same clock?

I suspect __clk_free_clk() should be called in __clk_release() callback
instead, but then there is an issue of safely getting reference to
struct clk from struct clk_core pointer.
Please ignore this comment, I missed __clk_create_clk() calls in clkdev.c
Anyway, in current -next I'm seeing random pointer dereferences while
booting Odroid U3, I'll get back to debugging this tomorrow morning.
