Subject: [PATCH v2] tpm: Fix null pointer dereference on chip register error path

If clk_enable is not defined and chip initialization
is canceled code hits null dereference.

Easily reproducible with vTPM init fail:
  swtpm chardev --tpmstate dir=nonexistent_dir --tpm2 --vtpm-proxy

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000
...
Call Trace:
