4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 55abe8165f31ffb83ce8b24da959b61362dca4c4 upstream.
`ni_tio_clock_period_ps()` used to return the clock period in
picoseconds, and had a `BUG()` call for invalid cases. It was changed
to pass the clock period back via a pointer parameter and return an
error for the invalid cases. Unfortunately the code to handle
user-specified clock sources with user-specified clock period is still
returning the clock period the old way, which can lead to the caller not
getting the clock period, or seeing an unexpected error. Fix it by
passing the clock period via the pointer parameter and returning `0`.
