This function is a bit convoluted. You could just return the result of
of_clk_add_provider() (keep the printk's if you want, they don't seem
very useful) and let ca8210_unregister_ext_clock() do the cleanup.

Does not look useful as you are enforcing priv->clock to be valid or
NULL, it cannot be an error code.
