Keep in mind that during the boot process, towards the end, unused
clocks get disabled, so the state remains in sync. If suddenly the
enable_count on unused clocks is not 0, this will break and unused
clocks will remain on, wasting power.

What issue were you having that prompted you to write this patch?
