I'm not really sure why clk_put() got in the picture here at all.
As it is mentioned here http://elixir.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/clk.h?v=4.10#L305
clk_put() means "free" the clock source.

Anyways this patch alone was not sufficient due to missing changes in .dts files and
Vlad is going to send v2 soonish.
