As far as i can tell this code doesn't have any effect. 

clk_enable is refcounted, so the clock will stay enabled for as long as
the driver is loaded (as it's enabled in _probe). Your code above just
raises and lowers the clocks enabled refcount, but won't actually ever
cause it to be disabled.

With respect to trying to disabling the clocks on pwm_disable, that will
need some more work to ensure the output signal has the expected level
when you turn of the clock. Specifically, when disabling from a non-100%
duty state the driver relies on the PWM turning the output signal low at
the end of a duty cycle. However if you turn off the clock at the start
of a duty cycle while the output signal is still high it will
unexpectedly remain high.
