Subject: [PATCH] imx: thermal: imx_get_temp might be called before the sensor clock ist prepared

Thanks for the hint, Philipp.
After thinking a little bit more about it I'm not sure about one thing:

If we can't get the clock or fail to enable it: Currently the code just throws
a warning and proceeds with trying to register the thermal device.
Does this make sense or shall we bail out instead (like in case of other error conditions
in imx_thermal_probe)? I'd tend to bail out ..

Regards, Heiner
