6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5b4cdd9c5676559b8a7c944ac5269b914b8c0bb8 upstream. If the clk ops.open() function returns an error, we don't release the pccontext we allocated for this clock. Re-organize the code slightly to make it all more obvious.
