[PATCH] clk: at91: Fix a return value in case of error

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Sat Sep 24 2016 - 17:57:58 EST


If 'clk_hw_register()' fails, it is likely that we expect to return an
error instead of a valid pointer (which would mean success).
'clk_hw_register()' returns a bool, so we don't have the detail of the
error. Return -ENOMEM instead, as it seems to be the most common error
returned by clk_register().

Fix commit f5644f10dcfb ("clk: at91: Migrate to clk_hw based registration
and OF APIs")

It is likely that a bigger change is needed. For example using clk_register
instead of clk_hw_register would return the error instead of a bool.
We could then propagate this error to the caller without the need to choose
an arbitrary error value.

This proposal is un-compiled and un-tested.
I get an error when I run 'make drivers/clk/at91/' which is likely due to
my building environment.
