The devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive() function may return an
ERR_PTR in case of genuine reset control acquisition errors, not just
NULL which indicates the legitimate absence of an optional reset.

Add an IS_ERR() check after the call in sun5i_timer_probe(). On error,
return the error code to ensure proper failure handling rather than
proceeding with invalid pointers.
