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.

I tested linux-next on Odroid U3 and booting fails with oopses as below.
There is no problems when the above kfree() is commented out.
