Use the error handling code at the end of the function, rather than
returning directly.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>

kfree(x)

I wonder if the error handling code at the end of the function should be
calling clk_put as well?  In that case, having a separate label for this

Applied, thanks.
I wonder if the error handling code at the end of the function should be
calling clk_put as well?  In that case, having a separate label for this
case would be useful.  Otherwise, one of error_request_irq and error_get_clk
can be deleted
The MSM implementation for it is simply a nop, so it's not going to
really matter one way or the other. In terms of general consistency it
might be worth implementing.

I expect that there are probably quite a few drivers that don't balance
out their clk_get()'s with clk_put()'s however, perhaps this is another
semantic patch candidate? At the very least it would be interesting to
see the statistics.
