Again, this is the indented behavior.

No, this is guesswork. In amba_probe(), clocks are enabled for the
drv->probe() and then disabled afterwards and that's where the refcount
ends up unbalanced, the probe is the culprit.

I can debug your driver for you but you'll at least need to put the code
up somewhere so I can see it.
