Hi Nick,

This fixes error handling in the function brcmf_sdio_htclk to
properly check if the call to the function brcmf_sdio_regrb
fails in the else if condition where the clkstate is in the
CLK_PENDING state in order to avoid incorrect execution of
the function brcmf_sdio_htclk when the call to brcmf_sdio_htclk
fails by returning a error code here.

This commit message seems a bit overstating the change or I am missing what you mean by incorrect execution here. These functions are pretty low-level and failures are likely SDIO bus errors that are likely persistent. For that reason not every individual call is checked for errors as net result is that device will become inoperable.

Regards,
Arend
