[PATCH 14/93] clocksource/drivers/mtk_timer: Convert init function to return error

From: Daniel Lezcano <hidden>
Date: 2016-07-07 08:45:39
Also in: linux-mediatek, lkml
Subsystem: clocksource, clockevent drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Daniel Lezcano, Thomas Gleixner, Linus Torvalds

The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:

 - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and
   make the system boot up correctly

 or

 - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system

Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming
to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype.

Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case
by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init
function.
