If the cpufreq driver enables it then it should disable it on exit as
well, right ? And in that case if you unload your driver's module, you
will hang the system as the clock will get disabled :)

Every other platform must either be marking it with CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
or they must be doing clk_enable from somewhere, maybe the CPU online
path, not sure though.
