Thanks for the reply, are you saying that merging the above patch will 
lead to the following issue?

before:
bus_remove -> driver_remove -> clk unprepare 
           -> dev_pm_domain_detach
           -> device_unbind_cleanup
after:
bus_remove -> driver_remove (delete clk unprepare) 
           -> dev_pm_domain_detach 
           -> device_unbind_cleanup (devm_clk_get_enbaled ->relase(clk unprepare))

But I think this issue is not only specific to the MMC host, it will also 
occur with other devices, if there is a PM domain attachded an use devm_clk_get_enbaled API. 

So, can we solve this problem by swap device_ubind_cleanup and dev_pm_domain_detach ? 
clk unprepare -> power off not power off -> clk unprepare

bus_remove -> driver_remove 
           -> device_unbind_cleanup
           -> dev_pm_domain_detach 

Thanks.
