Hi Michal,

Thank you for sending the patch over!

What clock is this?  Would it be worth mentioning what it is for
a reference (and for posterity) the commit message?

Also why it would need to be enabled and wasn't before?  Would this be
a fix for some problem?  Would this warrant a "Fixes:" tag?  And would
it need to be back-ported to stable kernels?

Almost every other user of clk_prepare_enable() would check for
potential failure, print an appropriate message, and then do the
necessary clean-up before bailing out and returning an error.

Would adding an error check for clk_prepare_enable() and printing an
error message using dev_err() be too much in this case?  If not, then
I would rather follow the pattern that other users established and
handle errors as needed.  What do you think?
