[PATCH 1/2] clockevents: introduce ->set_dev_mode() which can return error

[Kevin Hilman]

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar at linaro.org>

Currently, the ->set_mode() method of a clockevent device is not
allowed to fail, so it has no return value.  In order to add new
clockevent modes, and allow the setting of those modes to fail, we
need the clockevent core to be able to detect when setting a mode
fails.

To allow detection of mode setting failures, introduce a new method
->set_dev_mode() which can return an error if the given mode is not
supported or fails.

Since all current modes are still not allowed to fail, the core code
simply WARNs if any modes fail.  Future patches that add new mode
support will add proper error recovery based on failure conditions.
