Subject: [PATCH] gpio: mxc: add check to return defer probe if clock tree NOT
 ready

On i.MX8MQ platform, clock driver uses platform driver
model and it is probed after GPIO driver, so when GPIO
driver fails to get clock, it should check the error type
to decide whether to return defer probe or just ignore
the clock operation.
