Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: ath79: Fix return value check in ath79_reg_ffclk()

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@...ndmicro.com.cn>

In case of error, the function clk_register_fixed_factor() returns
ERR_PTR() and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value
check should be replaced with IS_ERR().
