[PATCH] 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.
