[PATCH v10 8/8] usb: chipidea: imx: fix the error that using uninitialized pointer

If the core's probe fails, the platform layer may not get core's
private data, if the platform tries to use struct ci13xxx, it will
use uninitialized pointer. Besides, if the core's probe fails,
the platform layer should know it, and let its probe fail too.
