In terms of stopping people doing:

	clk = clk_get(...);
	clk_prepare_enable(clk);
	clk_put(clk);

I think this is a good thing, because it ensures that people can't do
this anymore.

I think you need to audit the code properly first, and fix any instances
of that _before_ posting patches with your idea - let's try to avoid as
much as possible any breakage resulting from this.
