The CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro is used widely for the timers to declare the
clocksource at early stage. However, this macro is also used to initialize
the clockevent if any, or the clockevent only.
It was originally suggested to declare another macro to initialize a
clockevent, so in order to separate the two entities even they belong to the
same IP. This was not accepted because of the impact on the DT where splitting
a clocksource/clockevent definition does not make sense as it is a Linux
concept not a hardware description.
On the other side, the clocksource has not interrupt declared while the
clockevent has, so it is easy from the driver to know if the description is
for a clockevent or a clocksource, IOW it could be implemented at the driver
level.
So instead of dealing with a named clocksource macro, let's use a more generic
one: TIMER_OF_DECLARE.
The patch has not functional changes.

All the clocksource drivers's init function are now converted to return
an error code. CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE is no longer used as well as the
clksrc-of table.
Let's convert back the names:
- CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE_RET => CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE
- clksrc-of-ret => clksrc-of

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.
