The error path when get clock frequency fails in bcm2835aux_serial driver does not correctly disable the clock. This flaw was found using a static analysis tool "Hulk Robot", which reported the following warning when analyzing linux-next/master: drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_bcm2835aux.c: warning: clk_disable_unprepare_missing.cocci The cocci script checks for the existence of clk_disable_unprepare() paired with clk_prepare_enable(). Add the missing clk_disable_unprepare() to the error path.
