As Baruch already pointed out this is hard to read. Also it contains a
bug. When clk_prepare fails clk_unprepare is called afterwards.

Hint: Kernel guys are not afraid of having multiple return statements
in a function, instead they like it when something is handled early
without having to read the rest of the function.
