[RFC 1/4] clk: samsung: exynos5: Fix possible NULL pointer exception on platform_device_alloc() failure

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Mon Feb 18 2019 - 05:16:56 EST


During initialization of subdevices if platform_device_alloc() failed,
returned NULL pointer will be later dereferenced. Add proper error
paths to exynos5_clk_register_subcmu(). The return value of this
function is still ignored because at this stage of init there is nothing
we can do.
