Yes I have. And I didn't notice any user-visible behavioral differences. There is a small ordering difference, though: with clk_get() and clk_put(), the explicit clk_put() is done before removing the device from its PM Domain (which involces another call to clk_put() on the module clock): device_release_driver __device_release_driver platform_drv_remove sci_remove sci_cleanup_single __clk_put genpd_dev_pm_detach pm_genpd_remove_device pm_clk_destroy __pm_clk_remove __clk_put When using devm_clk_get(), the managed cleanup is done after the device has been removed from its PM Domain: device_release_driver __device_release_driver platform_drv_remove genpd_dev_pm_detach pm_genpd_remove_device pm_clk_destroy __pm_clk_remove __clk_put release_nodes __clk_put This shouldn't make a difference, and applies to all other drivers using devm_*(), and devices that are part of a PM Domain.
