Subject: [PATCH v42 5/6] clk: clk_put WARNs if user has not disabled clk

>>From the clk_put kerneldoc in include/linux/clk.h:

"""
Note: drivers must ensure that all clk_enable calls made on this clock
source are balanced by clk_disable calls prior to calling this function.
"""

The common clock framework implementation of the clk.h api has per-user
reference counts for calls to clk_prepare and clk_disable. As such it
can enforce the requirement to properly call clk_disable and
clk_unprepare before calling clk_put.

Because this requirement is probably violated in many places, this patch
starts with a simple warning. Once offending code has been fixed this
check could additionally release the reference counts automatically.
