I see another field gets added to the struct here.  (yet another
reason to have it folded into the original)   But you still
really don't need to create a sram_dev for this, because...

...here, this looks confusing with the use of IS_ERR on
an entity that was not recently assigned to.  Instead, just
put a "struct clk *clk;" on the stack and do the

   clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL);

in both the init and the teardown.  Then the code will be
more readable.
