I'm not sure this is worth it.  IMHO an unbalanced clk_disable is a
severe bug that doesn't need to be handled smoothly.

But maybe move the WARN_ON before the __clk_disable(clk->parent)?  This
way the disabled parent clock cannot stop the message to appear.

Other than that, please use WARN instead of printk + WARN_ON.  Then the
message is printed only after the oops begin marker.

And your indention is broken.  Please use tabs.

Best regards
Uwe
