The driver does not disable ref_clk on remove. According to the comment, the only reason to enable the clock is to get its rate. So, it should be safe to disable clk just after that.
By the way, clk_prepare_enable() looks to be more appropriate than clk_enable() here. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
