Current implementation of scpi_clk_add just print a warning when clock
fails to register but then keep going as if nothing happened. The
provider is then registered with bogus data.

This may latter lead to an Oops in __clk_create_clk when
hlist_add_head(&clk->clks_node, &hw->core->clks) is called.
What's the path of this call ? I see one in devm_clk_hw_register
but that's one which failed.

Also one of the reason for keeping it continuing is, if firmware fails
on some non-critical clock, that's fine rather than punishing the entire
set of clocks and may even fail the boot.
