I'd prefer we didn't do this. Instead, make clk_put() drop any
prepare or enables that were done via that clk pointer. Mike
started to do this before[1], but we have some code that assumes
it can do:

clk = clk_get(...)
clk_prepare_enable(clk)
clk_put(clk)

and have the clk stay on. Those would need to be changed.

We would also need Russell's approval to update the clk_put()
documentation to describe this change in behavior.
