[PATCH v1 2/2] amba: Propagate match errors to the driver core

Currently, when we scan the bus for matching devices, we assume that
the clock controller is probed and available, but that might be not
always true. If the bus clock is unavailable, we just silently fail
to detect devices.

Handle this by propagating the errors up to the driver core, so that
it can retry the scan later.
