There are a several places where printing an error message of
init.name occurs after init.name has been kfree'd. Also the failure
message is duplicated each time in the code. Fix this by adding
a registration error failure path for these cases, moving the
duplicated error messages to one common point and kfree'ing init.name
only after it has been used.
Changes also shrink the object code size by 171 bytes (x86-64, gcc 9.3):
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
21057 3960 64 25081 61f9 drivers/clk/clk-versaclock5.o
After:
text data bss dec hex filename
20886 3960 64 24910 614e drivers/clk/clk-versaclock5.o
Addresses-Coverity: ("Use after free")
Fixes: f491276a51 ("clk: vc5: Allow Versaclock driver to support multiple instances")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
