[PATCH] misc: atmel_tclib: fix error return code in tc_probe()

platform_get_irq() returns an error code, but the atmel_tclib driver
ignores it and always returns -EINVAL. This is not correct and,
prevents -EPROBE_DEFER from being propagated properly.

Print error message and propagate the return value of platform_get_irq
on failure.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
