[PATCH v2] hwrng: meson - Improve error handling for core clock

-ENOENT (ie. "there is no clock") is fine to ignore for an optional
clock, other values are not supposed to be ignored and should be
escalated to the caller (e.g. -EPROBE_DEFER). Ignore -ENOENT by using
devm_clk_get_optional().

While touching this code also add an error message for the fatal errors.

Hello,

compared to (implicit) v1
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210914142428.57099-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de)
this used dev_err_probe() as suggested by Martin Blumenstingl.

v1 got a "Reviewed-by: Neil Armstrong <narmstrong at baylibre.com>", I didn't add
that because of the above change.

(Hmm, my setup is broken, the b4 patch signature was done before I added this
message. I wonder if this will break the signature ...)

Best regards
Uwe
