Subject: AW: [PATCH 1/4] clk: mvebu: Fix a memory leak in an error handling
 path

nitpicking:
 clk_name could be replaced with cpuclk[cpu].clk_name

and the commit msg is from the other patch (free  cpuclk[cpu].clk_name)

If an error occurs in the for_each loop, clk_name must be freed.

In order to do so, sightly rearrange the code:
   - move the allocation to simplify error handling
   - use kasprintf instead of kzalloc/sprintf to simplify code and avoid a
     magic number

Fixes: ab8ba01b3fe5 ("clk: mvebu: add armada-370-xp CPU specific clocks")

The { } around the 1 line block after kasprintf is intentional and makes
sense with 2/2
