This is a violation of the clkdev api as defined in include/linux/clk.h:

	/**
	 * clk_put|------ "free" the clock source
	 * @clk: clock source
	 *
	 * Note: drivers must ensure that all clk_enable calls made on this
	 * clock source are balanced by clk_disable calls prior to calling
	 * this function.

So the WARN is doing its job and letting us know about incorrect use of
the API.

Why not keep the reference to the struct clk after get'ing it the first
time?

I don't know about that, but it seems like a reason to fix the clkdev
usage in the clock domain code.

What do you think?
