clk_get() shouldn't be used in fast paths anyway - drivers should 'get'
the clock and hold a reference to the clock while they're using it and
all the time that they're needing it to be enabled.

I think I'd like to keep the code as-is to discourage its use in fast
paths.  In any case:

Why not just change the '3' to be 'point' here - why restructure the code?
