My point, as explained below is that some resources are managed (i.e. 
allocated by a devm_ function and released by the framework if the probe 
fails or if the driver is removed), but not all.

I think that it is not consistent and that maybe the release of the 
corresponding resources should be handled in a way or another.

clk_hw_register_fixed_rate() allocates some memory. If an error occures 
later on or if the driver is .remove()'ed, this memory will leak. 
(unless I missed something).

Most of your other function calls use some devm_ variant, so the 
corresponding resources are released automatically in case of error or 
if the driver is unloaed.

It is mostly a matter of taste, so if you don't think my proposal 
improves anything, just forget about it.

I mean the same as above. clk_hw_register_mux_table() allocates some 
memory. If an error occures later on or if the driver is .remove()'ed, 
this memory will leak. (unless I missed something).

Error handling was not a really good wording. You should read "should 
the resources allocated by this function be released if an error occures 
below"

Here, the devm_ alternative exist. But my point is the same as above. 
(release of resources in cae of error or if the driver is removed)
