sun4i_frontend_runtime_resume() can fail after enabling the bus, mod,
and ram clocks if reset_control_reset() returns an error. The function
previously returned without disabling those clocks, leaking them and
leaving the hardware in an inconsistent state.
Check the return value of each clk_prepare_enable() call and unwind the
clocks that were successfully enabled on any subsequent failure,
including reset failure.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Unhandled error from sun4i_frontend_init leads to kernel panic on hardware register access.
- [High] Plane atomic update callback invokes sleeping functions via pm_runtime_get_sync.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does calling clk_prepare_enable() here
violate atomic context rules?
During display updates, sun4i_backend_layer_atomic_update() executes in an
atomic context where sleeping is forbidden. It calls sun4i_frontend_init()
which synchronously calls pm_runtime_get_sync(). If the device is suspended,
this executes sun4i_frontend_runtime_resume() and reaches these sleeping
clk_prepare_enable() functions, which can cause scheduling while atomic
warnings.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does returning this error with
the bus clock disabled now risk a kernel panic?
In drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_layer.c:sun4i_backend_layer_atomic_update(),
the return value of sun4i_frontend_init() is ignored:
sun4i_frontend_init(frontend);
sun4i_frontend_update_coord(frontend, layer);
If sun4i_frontend_runtime_resume() fails (e.g., reset failure) and this
unwinding path successfully disables frontend->bus_clk, the frontend is left
without its bus clock. When sun4i_frontend_update_coord() and other functions
subsequently attempt to write to hardware registers, accessing them while the
bus clock is disabled can trigger a synchronous external abort on ARM.
