As priv is allocated using alloc_etherdev_mqs(), priv->refclk is
NULL initially, but priv itself may indeed not be initialized when the first
"goto out_release" is taken.  Sorry for missing that.

The devm_clk_get_optional() will be undone automatically, so there
is no need to handle that explicitly.

As this patch has been applied to net-next, you''ll have to send
a follow-up fix patch, not a v5.

No, not for priv->clk, due to devm_*().

OK.

NAK, as priv->clk is not enabled in ravb_probe().

OK.

Thanks!
