Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: timer-cadence-ttc: Fix resource leaks in error paths

The ttc_setup_clocksource() and ttc_setup_clockevent() fail to
unregister the clock notifier in their error paths, potentially
leading to a resource leak. Additionally, ttc_setup_clocksource()
leaks the prepared clock reference upon failure.

Unregister the clock notifier and disable the clock in the
error path of ttc_setup_clocksource(). Also, add the missing
clock notifier unregistration in the error path of
ttc_setup_clockevent() to ensure proper cleanup.

Fixes: e932900a3279 ("arm: zynq: Use standard timer binding")
Fixes: 91dc985c5e51 ("ARM: zynq: add clk binding support to the ttc")
