Subject: ARM: 8631/1: clkdev: Detect errors in clk_hw_register_clkdev() for mass registration

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

commit 9388093db44356af911adf3d355b7544a13a63cd upstream.

Unlike clk_register_clkdev(), clk_hw_register_clkdev() doesn't check for
passed error objects from a previous registration call. Hence the caller
of clk_hw_register_*() has to check for errors before calling
clk_hw_register_clkdev*().

Make clk_hw_register_clkdev() more similar to clk_register_clkdev() by
adding this error check, removing the burden from callers that do mass
registration.

Fixes: 944b9a41e004534f ("clk: ls1x: Migrate to clk_hw based OF and registration APIs")
