Subject: [PATCH 4.14 004/183] clocksource/imx-tpm: Correct -ETIME return condition check

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

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

From: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@....com>

commit 7407188489c62a7b5694bc75a6db2b82af94c9a5 upstream.

The additional brakects added to tpm_set_next_event's return value
computation causes (int) forced type conversion NOT taking effect, and the
incorrect value return will cause various system timer issue, like RCU
stall etc..

Remove the additional brackets to make sure tpm_set_next_event always
returns correct value.
