Wow, this is one long sentence! :-) Could you split that up and simplify
it a bit? Especially the "hold share count" part confused me at first, I
thought you mean *share_count > 0, but you actually ment share_count !=
NULL (maybe "clk gates which have share count allocated").

By introducing the .disable_unused callback the framework won't call the
.disable callback anymore, even if enable_count is 0 and the clock is
enabled according to .is_enabled. Wouldn't this interfere the disabling
of normal, non-shared clock gates?
