The refcounting of the gate clocks has a bug causing the enable_refcnt
to underflow when unused clocks are disabled. This happens because clk
provider erroneously bumps the refcount if clock is enabled at a boot
time, which it shouldn't be doing, and it does this only for the gate
clocks, while peripheral clocks are using the same gate ops and the
peripheral clocks are missing the initial bump. Hence the refcount of
the peripheral clocks is 0 when unused clocks are disabled and then the
counter is decremented further by the gate ops, causing the integer
underflow.

Fix this problem by removing the erroneous bump and by implementing the
disable_unused() callback, which disables the unused gates properly.

The visible effect of the bug is such that the unused clocks are never
gated if a loaded kernel module grabs the unused clocks and starts to use
them. In practice this shouldn't cause any real problems for the drivers
and boards supported by the kernel today.

Seems you'll need to implement the disable_unused() callback for the
clk_sdmmc_mux to fix it. It's good that this problem has been caught.

Thanks, that fixes it! Please feel free to add my test-by and acked-by
when you send out the patch.
