```text
The hwa742_init() function did not check the return value of clk_get().
This could lead to dereferencing an error pointer in subsequent clock
operations, potentially causing a kernel crash.

Fix this by adding a missing error check and ensuring proper clock
resource cleanup on failure and driver removal.
