In general I am fine with this approach. There's some more "return"
statements below. Should these be covered as well?

Also a note about meson8b_clkc_init_common() itself: failures in that
function will result in a non-working system.
If we can't register the reset controller then most devices won't
probe and CPU SMP cannot work.
If registering any clock or the clock controller doesn't work then the
system also won't work as clocks are not available to other drivers.
So freeing memory in case of an error is good to have, but the end
result is still the same: the system won't work.


Best regards,
Martin
