Ok sounds like we're on the same page.

It triggers my "that's not symmetric filter" because it requires the
caller to free something allocated by the callee. Do we still need
__clk_get() to be called in the common clock path? Why not just do the
stuff we do in __clk_get() in __clk_create_clk()? Then if that fails we
can return an error pointer indicating some sort of failure (-ENOENT?)
and we don't need to do any sort of cleanup otherwise.
