[PATCH] [RFC] devm: drop devm_clk_put

[Uwe Kleine-König]

devm_clk_put isn't really necessary as a driver usually keeps the
reference during its lifetime and there are no in-tree users. So
drop it.

Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de>

The "no in-tree users" part of the commit log isn't true yet, as there
is no agreed-on patch for sound/soc/kirkwood/kirkwood-i2s.c yet and the
other patches in this thread are not applied/acked yet.
