Absolutely agree. The combination of clk_prepare_enable() in probe and
clk_disable_unprepare() in remove is used all over the place. Sure,
we _can_ use devm_add_action_or_reset() for all those cases, and I do
have a coccinelle script doing just that. While I'll have to accept
going forward with that approach if needed, I have to admit that
I completely fail to miss the point why that would be a good idea.

Thanks,
