Amit, to illustrate why this is wrong, consider this:
1. Set cpu_clk to NULL.
2. Realise IS_ERR_OR_NULL(NULL) is true.
3. What is the value of PTR_ERR(NULL) ?
4. What effect does that have when you jump to err_free_table ?
5. What value is returned from this function in that case ?
6. What does that return value mean to the driver core ?
