[PATCH v6 3/5] soc: qcom: ice: Return proper error codes from devm_of_qcom_ice_get() instead of NULL

From: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

devm_of_qcom_ice_get() currently returns NULL if ICE SCM is not available
or "qcom,ice" property is not found in DT. But this confuses the clients
since NULL doesn't convey the reason for failure. So return proper error
codes instead of NULL.
