After converting the driver to OF probing, kernel-test-robot reported the
following new warning:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: mtk_timer_probe+0x23: no-cfi indirect call!

This occurs because of_device_get_match_data() returns NULL when
CONFIG_OF is disabled, which results in LLVM dropping the kCFI setup
since it knows that there is no valid target for this call. Adding a
check for a NULL timer_init avoids the warning and it makes the probe
more robust since of_device_get_match_data() could return NULL even
when CONFIG_OF=y.
