From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9c632a6396505a019ea6d12b5ab45e659a542a93 ] Smatch detected this potential error pointer dereference clk_wzrd_register_divider(). If devm_clk_hw_register() fails then it sets "hw" to an error pointer and then dereferences it on the next line. Return the error directly instead.
