aspeed_gfx_load() enables the display clock without checking the return
value and never disables it on probe failure or removal. devm_clk_get()
only releases the clock reference, leaving the enable unbalanced.
Use devm_clk_get_enabled() to handle enable failures and automatically
disable and unprepare the clock on probe failure or removal.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.

Validated with an ARM64 W=1 object build and strict checkpatch.
No hardware runtime, clock-failure injection or unbind testing was done.
