I wondered for some time if we could still improve more here. If the
(say) second clk_enable() or devm_pwmchip_add() fails, the clk_enable()
calls are leaked. However disabling the clk also might have downsides
(as it might stop a running PWM). OTOH the only expected failure point
is the first clk_enable() as the following are just software operations
and devm_pwmchip_add() only fails on memory pressure. So proper cleanup
doesn't really matter.

So I think the patch is fine as is and I will apply it.

Best regards
Uwe
