Thanks for your advice! I will resend a new patch as suggested.

I find that ca8210_register_ext_clock() uses IS_ERR to check priv->clk
after calling clk_register_fixed_rate(). So I think priv->clk could be
a non-null pointer even on failure. And a null pointer check may miss
this case in ca8210_unregister_ext_clock().
