Ok, thanks for the details. I'd still look into if there's some way to
avoid setting clk_count when there are no clocks as it sounds like an
anti-pattern that will just make the code harder to understand and
maintain.

Indeed it does, thanks.

Thanks for addressing this quickly. With the two patches above applied,
the issues I noticed are gone.
