No.  clocks have always been able to be enabled multiple times.  You
should only get a warning if you try and disable it more times than you
enabled it, because that's a violation of the API.

Consider two drivers sharing the same input clock.  If one driver
disables the clock more times than it enables it, then it's treading
on the other drivers need to have the clock enabled.
