I did not realized that when I reviewed the patch this morning,
but the bug has already been fixed by 24c9cd8f8d26 ("mtd: oxnas_nand:
Handle clk_prepare_enable/clk_disable_unprepare."), which you acked.

Well, let's assume the patch was really fixing a bug. If it's
targeting an -rc or is meant to be backported, the patch should be as
simple as possible, which not the case here.
Another reason to keep the existing pattern is that, once you've added
the appropriate devm_ function to the CCF, you can automate the
adoption of this function throughout the whole kernel tree using a
coccinelle script. If you start modifying some call-site that makes yet
another pattern to detect in the cocci script.
