Yes I have. And I didn't notice any user-visible behavioral differences.

There is a small ordering difference, though: with clk_get() and clk_put(), the
explicit clk_put() is done before removing the device from its PM Domain
(which involces another call to clk_put() on the module clock):

device_release_driver
__device_release_driver
platform_drv_remove
sci_remove
sci_cleanup_single
__clk_put
genpd_dev_pm_detach
pm_genpd_remove_device
pm_clk_destroy
__pm_clk_remove
__clk_put

When using devm_clk_get(), the managed cleanup is done after the device has
been removed from its PM Domain:

device_release_driver
__device_release_driver
platform_drv_remove
genpd_dev_pm_detach
pm_genpd_remove_device
pm_clk_destroy
__pm_clk_remove
__clk_put
release_nodes
__clk_put

This shouldn't make a difference, and applies to all other drivers using
devm_*(), and devices that are part of a PM Domain.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Geert
