Please do not store potential error pointers in dynamically allocated
memory.

Put it in a local variable for the devm_clk_get() call, then if it
succeeds and is not an error pointer, place it into pdata->sys_clk.

You must resubmit this entire patch series when updating any aspect
of it.  I'm pre-emptively telling you this because often people think
they can just post a new version of the fixed patch, but that's not
how things work here :-)

Thanks.
