clk_register_pll() can return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) so checking the return value

The code just doesn't propagate the error up to the caller.
Instead the caller treats NULL as an error and non-NULL as valid.
If the callee detects an error it hides it and returns NULL.
Could you please clarify?
I thought that your point was that 'clk_register_pll()' was returning
NULL when 'clk_register()' was returning an error.
The proposed patch fixes it and now 'clk_register_pll()' returns:
- either ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) if zkalloc fails
- or clk if 'clk_register()' fails. In this case it is an error pointer
- or a valid, non NULL, pointer in case of success
The caller, '_of_pll_clk_init()' has also been updated to test the
return value using IS_ERR.
So, which caller/callee do you refer to?
Would you like '_of_pll_clk_init()' to also propagate the error?
Or is it the phrasing of the log entry which is not clear enough and
should be updated?
In order to fix it, update clk_register_pll() to always return an error
pointer in case of error and check the return value with IS_ERR.
While at it, also fix a tab vs space in the surrounding code.

Un-compiled and un-tested.
Please at least compile test patches.
Agreed, and I usually do.
But in this particular case, I don't have the build environment to do it.
I preferred to report what looks like a (small) bug to me and clearly
state that I didn't even compile-tested it rather than just ignoring it.
Hoping that this approach, in such a case, is acceptable.
