Return error from failed clock enable.

Pic32 RTC ignores clk_prepare_enable return before hardware access and
later disables/unprepares clock same pic32 RTC unchecked
clk_prepare_enable.

Check early clk_prepare_enable(pdata->clk) return in pic32_rtc_probe.

I find such a wording approach improvable.
How do you think about to add any tags (like “Fixes” and “Cc”) accordingly?

I got the impression that another reminder would be needed also for the presented patch.
