Subject: PM / clk: Fix clock error check in __pm_clk_add()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <[email protected]>

commit 3fc3a0be0dab352e065d1dad7d3f81953ed0d4bc upstream.

In the final iteration of commit 245bd6f6af8a62a2 ("PM / clock_ops: Add pm_clk_add_clk()"), a refcount increment was added by Grygorii Strashko. However, the accompanying IS_ERR() check operates on the wrong clock pointer, which is always zero at this point, i.e. not an error. This may lead to a NULL pointer dereference later, when __clk_get() tries to dereference an error pointer.

Check the passed clock pointer instead to fix this.
