Thanks for the reply, are you saying that merging the above patch will
lead to the following issue?

before:
bus_remove -> driver_remove -> clk unprepare
-> dev_pm_domain_detach
-> device_unbind_cleanup
after:
bus_remove -> driver_remove (delete clk unprepare)
-> dev_pm_domain_detach
-> device_unbind_cleanup (devm_clk_get_enbaled ->relase(clk unprepare))

But I think this issue is not only specific to the MMC host, it will also
occur with other devices, if there is a PM domain attachded an use devm_clk_get_enbaled API.

So, can we solve this problem by swap device_ubind_cleanup and dev_pm_domain_detach ?
clk unprepare -> power off not power off -> clk unprepare

bus_remove -> driver_remove
-> device_unbind_cleanup
-> dev_pm_domain_detach

Thanks.
