The clock obtained with of_clk_get_by_name() is never released: the
probe error paths after it, irq request failure, deglitch setup
failure and adapter registration failure, return without clk_put(),
and st_i2c_remove() does not drop the reference either.

Add a cleanup label that drops the clock reference on the probe error
paths and release the reference in the remove path.

Hi Wentao

This patch need to be rebased on last kernel.

Thanks
