Subject: [PATCH 4.16 238/272] hwrng: bcm2835 - Handle deferred clock properly

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 7b4c5d30d0bd2b22c09d4d993a76e0973a873891 ]

In case the probe of the clock is deferred, we would assume it is
optional. This is wrong, so defer the probe of this driver until
the clock is available.
