commit 179a502f8c46 ("rtc: snvs: add Freescale rtc-snvs driver") introduces the SNVS RTC driver with a function snvs_rtc_enable(). snvs_rtc_enable() can return an error on the enable path however this driver does not currently trap that failure on the probe() path and consequently if enabling the RTC fails we encounter a later error spinning forever in rtc_write_sync_lp().

If the RTC doesn't start we don't proceed loading the driver and don't get into this loop mess later on.
