The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:

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.

oops I missed the typo here !
Daniel can u squash this to ur patch !
Yes, no problem.
Do you agree to move the driver to drivers/clocksource, so we can add
the COMPILE_TEST option ?
Thanks.
