This is still an allocation and can in theory fail.

But it is also unnecessary to keep these around after registering the
clocks so it's better to just reuse a single stack allocated buffer for
this.

nit: This looks unnecessarily verbose. Using

	"failed to register clock %d: %d\n", i, ret

should do just fine as you are using dev_err().
