Even more convenient is that clk_prepare_enable() and
clk_disable_unprepare() accepts a NULL.

So set rpm->ramclk = NULL in the error path and move the
clk_enable/disable() out of their conditional.

Please write a few lines in the binding document as well:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/qcom-rpm.txt

I suggest that you do this after of_platform_depopulate().
