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.

ARM: 8366/1: move Dual-Timer SP804 driver to drivers/clocksource2015-06-02T08:58:18ZSudeep Hollasudeep.holla@arm.com2015-05-18T15:29:40Zurn:sha1:0b7402dce445ba0d11401c2cb806e8fc260c9e49
The ARM Dual-Timer SP804 module is peripheral found not only on ARM32
platforms but also on ARM64 platforms.
This patch moves the driver out of arch/arm to driver/clocksource
so that it can be used on ARM64 platforms also.
