Thanks for help and suggestion.

So last time (V2) you had a almost perfect subject line:

clocksrouce/timer-imz-gpt: Prevent resource leaks in error path

The only issue was the clocksrcouce typo. Now you made it:

clocksource/timer-imx-gpt: Preventing resource leakage in error case.

Documentation/SubmittingPatches says:

Describe your changes in imperative mood ... as if you are giving orders
to the codebase to change its behaviour.

"Preventing" is not imperative and the above is not a proper sentence,
while the V2 one is.

ret = _mxc_timer_init(imxtm);
- if (ret)
- return ret;
+ if (ret) {
+ goto error_iounmap;
+ }
Further Documentation/SubmittingPatches also tells you which tools to use
_before_ submission. If you'd used them then the above change would look
different. You surely can figure that out yourself.

Thanks,
