There are dereferences to the result of clk_get a few times.  I tried the 
following semantic patch:

@@ expression E; identifier I; @@
* E = clk_get(...) ... E->I

It gives the results shown below (- marks matched lines, not lines to 
remove).  I also tried with devm_clk_get instead of clk_get, but got 
nothing.
