Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] In `zx_clk_common_probe()`, the error path for `data->init(map)` incorrectly returns `PTR_ERR(clk)` instead of propagating the actual error code `res`.

clk: zte: Add Clock registration infrastructure

This commit adds the common clock registration infrastructure for ZTE SoCs.
It includes support for registering PLLs, muxes, dividers, and gates using
regmap, and introduces a common probe function to initialize them.

[Severity: High]
Does this code pass the wrong error code to dev_err_probe() in the
zx_clk_common_probe() error path?

When data->init(map) fails, it returns a non-zero error code into res.
However, the error handling block incorrectly evaluates and returns
PTR_ERR(clk).

Since clk is merely an iteration variable from the preceding loops, it could
be completely uninitialized if num_inputs_enable and num_inputs are 0, which
might trick the driver core into assuming the probe succeeded despite
initialization failing.

If the loops did execute successfully, clk holds a valid pointer, and
PTR_ERR(clk) will return a random large number depending on the pointer's
memory address, resulting in a meaningless error code.

Should this return res instead of PTR_ERR(clk)?
