I just notice that, too.  My mail address that and your's just crossed
each other.

Yes I have, but nothing special.  This is part of a generic API defined
in include/linux/clk.h.  One of it's use it to abstract away some
platform dependencies.  There are several architectures that define
it[1].  I used it to allow enabling the device only when the device is
opened.  Typical things in the enable routine are enabling a clock or
reserve and configure gpios etc.

A minimal dummy implementation that should work here is:

	#define clk_get(dev, id)	NULL
	#define clk_put(clk)		((void)0)
	#define clk_enable(clk)		(1)
	#define clk_disable(clk)	((void)0)

Best regards
Uwe
