The clock is got in ocores_i2c_of_probe(). That function is not always
called. So you need to be careful in the error handling that you are
not disabling a clock which does not exist....

But i think a better fix is to change ocores_i2c_of_probe() to use
devm_clk_get_enabled(), rather than devm_clk_get() so that the driver
core will disable to clock if the probe fails, or when the driver is
unloaded.
