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

From: Walter Harms
Date: Fri Apr 23 2021 - 07:42:37 EST


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

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