It's looking fairly close. Thanks for keeping up with the review
comments.

Don't we need to __clk_free_clk() here too?

Is it safe to call this during clock registration? I hope that it
will just bail out and do nothing because core->rate ==
core->req_rate. Maybe we can avoid this given my next comment
below.

This doesn't look right. First we drop the core reference here
with clk_core_put() and then we call __clk_free_clk() which will
go and call clk_core_set_rate() on the clk->core which may or may
not exist anymore. I'd think we want to do these steps:

 1. Unlink clk from clks list
 2. Recalculate rate and set if changed
 3. Drop kref on core with clk_core_put()
 4. kfree the clk
