Thus wrote Yuho Choi (dbgh9129 at gmail.com):

> The RNGC clock is enabled manually before runtime PM is configured. If
> devm_hwrng_register() fails, probe returns without disabling the clock.
> The devm_pm_runtime_enable() cleanup only disables runtime PM and does not
> call imx_rngc_suspend().

> Disable the clock before returning from this failure path.

Good catch, thanks.
