Subject: [PATCH 4.19 193/280] clk: samsung: exynos5: Fix possible NULL pointer exception on platform_device_alloc() failure

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@...nel.org>

commit 5f0b6216ea381b43c0dff88702d6cc5673d63922 upstream.

During initialization of subdevices if platform_device_alloc() failed,
returned NULL pointer will be later dereferenced.  Add proper error
paths to exynos5_clk_register_subcmu().  The return value of this
function is still ignored because at this stage of init there is nothing
we can do.
