[patch 08/15] clocksource: Let clocksource_unregister() return success/error

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: clocksource-unregister-return-success-error.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2951 bytes --]

The unregister call can fail, if the clocksource is the current one
and there is no replacement clocksource available. It can also fail,
if the clocksource is the watchdog clocksource and I'm not going to
provide support for this.
