No. It's handled correctly as long as the tree is in coherent state.

What is not done anymore is fixing up an inconsistent tree, by this I
mean: A clock with CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE, which report enabled from its
own registers but has its parent disabled.

In that particular case, clk_disable_unused_subtree() won't be turning on
everything to properly disable that one clock. That is the root cause of
the problem you reported initially. The clock is disabled anyway.

Every other case are properly handled (at least I think).
