digicolor_timer_init() obtains the timer clock with of_clk_get() and
enables it, but the request_irq() failure path returns without releasing
the clock reference, leaking both the enable/prepare state and the
reference itself.

Disable and put the clock before returning on the request_irq() failure
path. The success path keeps the clock enabled for the lifetime of the
timer and is left untouched.
