[PATCH v3] imx: thermal: imx_get_temp might be called before sensor clock is prepared

imx_get_temp might be called before the sensor clock is prepared
thus resulting in a timeout of the first attempt to read temp:
thermal thermal_zone0: failed to read out thermal zone 0
Happened to me on a Utilite Standard with IMX6 Dual SoC.

Reason is that in imx_thermal_probe thermal_zone_device_register
is called before the sensor clock is prepared.
thermal_zone_device_register however calls
thermal_zone_device_update which eventually calls imx_get_temp.

Fix this by preparing the clock before calling
thermal_zone_device_register.

v2: revised error path. Bail out and tidy up properly if we can't
    get the clock or fail to enable it
v3: don't print error message if getting clock returns EPROBE_DEFER
