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.

This IP is shared with Watchdog and RTC functionality. All 3 of
these devices are mutually exclusive from one another i.e. Only 1
IP can be used at any given time. We use the device-driver model
combined with a DT 'mode' property to enforce this.
The ST LPC Clocksource IP can be used as the system (tick) timer.
