clk_get() acquires a reference to the clock which must be released with
clk_put() when no longer needed. In get_bus_freq(), the clock reference
obtained by clk_get() is used only to read the frequency via
clk_get_rate(), but clk_put() is never called, causing a clock reference
count leak on every invocation.

Fix this by calling clk_put() before returning the frequency.

May I know why the blob hash is 0000000..1111111? Is this patch just
generated by AI tools?
