ma35d1_rtc_probe() gets the RTC clock via of_clk_get() and enables it
via clk_prepare_enable(), but the struct clk * is a local variable --
never stored anywhere, and the driver has no .remove. So on every
probe, success or failure, there's no way to ever call
clk_disable_unprepare()/clk_put() on it -- a permanent leak, and since
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_MA35D1 is tristate, each module load/unload leaks
another one.
Replace of_clk_get() + clk_prepare_enable() with
devm_clk_get_enabled() -- same clock (both route through
__of_clk_get(np, 0, ...)) but devm-managed, so it's released
automatically on unbind or any probe-failure return.

Hi Cong,
Thanks for fixing this.
The conversion to devm_clk_get_enabled() correctly fixes the
clock reference and enable-count leak while preserving the RTC
clock behavior during the device lifetime.
