[PATCH] cxl: Don't fail initialization if PSL timebase can't be
synced

Nice double negative.. How about:

  cxl: Allow initialization on timebase sync failures
Failure to synchronize the PSL timebase currently prevents the
initialization of the cxl card, thus rendering the card useless. This
is too extreme for a feature which is rarely used, if at all.
I'd probably mention that no hardware AFUs or software currently use
timebase at all.
This patch still tries to synchronize the PSL timebase when the card
is initialized, but doesn't fail if it can't. Instead, it reports a
status via /sys.
"...doesn't fail if it can't".. triple negative, awesome! :-P

Other than these minor nits..

Patch will need a small update for next, due to the powerVM patchset.
Will send that as soon as this one is agreed upon.

Thinking forward, for libcxl we'll want a cxl_tb_synced() call which
will need to return true, false and unknown.  "unknown" is when this
file doesn't exists, when a new libcxl is run on an older kernel.

Do we want to same interface here?  Probably not, but something to
consider.
