[PATCH] hwrng: imx-rngc: propagate clock enable errors

[PATCH] hwrng: imx-rngc: propagate clock enable errors

[Pengpeng Hou]

imx_rngc_probe() reads hardware registers after enabling its clock without
checking the result, and the runtime resume callback always reports success
after the same unchecked operation.

Propagate clock-enable errors before accessing the RNG and to the
runtime-PM
core on resume.
