phy: ti-pipe3: Fix clock leak in init error path

When regmap_update_bits() fails in ti_pipe3_init() for PCIe mode,
the function returns the error without calling ti_pipe3_disable_clocks().
This leaves the clocks permanently enabled since the PHY framework won't
invoke the .exit callback on init failure.

[Severity: Medium]
Does the commit message need to document this fix in the SATA exit path?

The commit message only mentions fixing the clock leak in the ti_pipe3_init()
error path for PCIe mode. 

This addition of ti_pipe3_disable_clocks() in ti_pipe3_exit() for the SATA
mode seems like a meaningful functional change that isn't documented in the
commit log, which could cause confusion during review and hinder stable
backports.
