Well, it's pretty much the same problem if you do it in the order you
propose here: if the core clk enable fails, you'll have to disable the
reg clk. Plus, I'm not a big fan of if/else block imbrications when we
can avoid them.

Right. I just checked the clk_prepare() implementation which is
checking for NULL value only and I thought clk_disable() and
clk_unprepare() were doing the same, which apparently is not the case.
