Daniel Lezcano 8595b1ba14 clocksource/drivers/oxnas-rps: Convert init function to return error
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.

Neil Armstrong 89355274e1 clocksource/drivers/oxnas-rps: Add Oxford Semiconductor RPS Dual Timer
Add clocksource and clockevent driver from dual RPS timer.
The HW provides a dual one-shot or periodic 24bit timers,
the drivers set the first one as tick event source and the
second as a continuous scheduler clock source.
The timer can use 1, 16 or 256 as pre-dividers, thus the
clocksource uses 16 by default.
