Subject: [PATCH] can: flexcan: Fix an uninitialized variable issue

If both 'clk_ipg' and 'clk_per' are NULL, we return an un-init value.
So set 'err' to 0, to return success in such a case.

Fixes: d9cead75b1c6 ("can: flexcan: add mcf5441x support")

Another way to fix it is to remove the NULL checks for 'clk_ipg' and
'clk_per' that been added in commit d9cead75b1c6.

They look useless to me because 'clk_prepare_enable()' returns 0 if it is
passed a NULL pointer.
Having these explicit tests is maybe informational (i.e. these pointers
can really be NULL) or have been added to silent a compiler or a static
checker.

So, in case, I've left the tests and just fixed the un-init 'err' variable
issue.
