[PATCH 6/6] firmware: raspberrypi: Handle device registration errors

[Sander Speetjens <sander.speetjens@gmail.com>]

Check the return value of platform_device_register_data() before assigning
it to the global rpi_hwmon / rpi_clk pointers.  Previously an ERR_PTR was
stored on failure, which could be used later without proper checking.

Do not propagate the error to the caller.  The hwmon and clock platform
devices are optional helpers; making the whole rpi_firmware_probe() fail
just because a child platform device could not be created would be worse,
as it would lose the firmware interface that many other drivers need.

Fixes: 70eea1bbb556 ("firmware: raspberrypi: Register hwmon driver")
Fixes: 91f2cf4a6b21 ("firmware: raspberrypi: register clk device")
