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.
