[PATCH 1/2] clk: Fix error handling in fixed clock hardware type register fn

From: Saravana Kannan
Date: Mon Mar 19 2012 - 23:38:35 EST


If memory allocation for the parents array or the parent string fails, then
fail the registration immediately instead of calling clk_register and
hoping it fails there.

Return -ENOMEM on failure.

There are still some memory free issues when clk_register() fails, but I will
fix it when I fixed the other register() fns to return ENOMEM of alloc
failure instead of a NULL.
