This should be your commit log.

And this is actually not related to the fact that we are building it
as a module or not. You'd face the same issue with a statically built
kernel if the bootloader didn't enable it.

You can probably use devm_clk_get to make the exit path smaller.

And dev_warn here.

Hu? Why do you disable the clock? don't you need it afterwards?
