s/clock/regulator?

I don't think so.

If you remove this print you: i) might get a print from the core,
or ii) maybe not because of some path without a print.

And even if you do get an error, it might not relate exactly to the
driver that requested the resource, because you might be printing
via pr_xxx, from a context without a struct dev to use dev_xxx.
