In the implementation of bcm2835_register_pll(), the allocated memory
for pll should be released if devm_clk_hw_register() fails.

Eh, is pll freed at all, even in successful case? I failed to find a corresponding kfree().
The pointer itself is lost once the function returns.
The solution would rather be to use devm_kzalloc instead of kzalloc, like the other clocks
in e.g. bcm2835_register_pll()

Best regards,
Alexander
