[Mubin]: I will change it to "return 0" to avoid dmesg errors.

[Mubin]:  I am doing it based on earlier discussion related to AXI Timer PWM driver.  It was suggested to use #pwm-cells property for identifying role of device(PWM/clocksource) https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/20210513021631.GA878860@robh.at.kernel.org/.
