Overall this looks very helpful.

It seems as if an unbalanced clk_disable() call is done before any
clk_enable() call something like:

"incorrect disable clk dev foo con bar last disabler (null)"

Then the second WARN() will be triggered in __clk_disable().

Have you tried this usecase?

Maybe we can avoid the confusing warning, I don't know.
No big deal maybe.

Apart from that:
