Sorry, I retract this patch.

Krzysztof pointed out
cleanups only for clk_disable_unprepare() will lose the code symmetry.

NULL pointer checks for clk_prepare_enable() should be
removed to keep the code symmetrical.

This is possible for common-clock framework because
clk_prepare_enable() is also a no-op for a NULL clk input.
But it is not necessarily true for non-common clock implementations.
