I believe the problem is that the shared count is not increased
correctly during registration. When it would be increased during
registration for each clock that is enabled in hardware clock_disable_unused
could do its job like intended.

Could you test the attached patch?

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: i.MX: clk-gate2: Fix shared clock enable counting

When during registration of a shared clock the clock is enabled
in hardware the shared_count must be increased. This makes sure
that during clk_disable the shared_count is decreased first before
actually diabling the clock. When done like this the is_enabled
callback can return the hardware state of the clock, like it is
intended.
