5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5f0b6216ea381b43c0dff88702d6cc5673d63922 upstream. During initialization of subdevices if platform_device_alloc() failed, returned NULL pointer will be later dereferenced. Add proper error paths to exynos5_clk_register_subcmu(). The return value of this function is still ignored because at this stage of init there is nothing we can do.
