The .id is only required for initialization, it seems strange to keep
it around runtime data. It might be better for this API to work with an
array of clk* and separate array of names (or clk_bulk_init_data if we
need flags). Variable references would be shorter and it would allow
more data to be const.

My subjective opinion is that a better way to clean this up would be to
have a single imx6q_cpufreq_clean function that takes all resources and
does stuff like:

if (!IS_ERR(clk)) clk_put(clk);
clk = NULL;

That function can be called from both _remove and failed _probe without
having to keep track of which resources have been allocated until then.
Just free and NULL all clocks/regulators and simplify control flow.
