[PATCH] clk: clkdev: don't fail clkdev_alloc() if over-sized

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Don't fail clkdev_alloc() if the strings are over-sized. In this case,
the entry will not match during lookup, so its useless. However, since
code fails if we return NULL leading to boot failure, return a dummy
entry with the connection and device IDs set to "bad".

Leave the warning so these problems can be found, and the useless
wasteful clkdev registrations removed.

Fixes: 8d532528ff6a ("clkdev: report over-sized strings when creating clkdev entries")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/7eda7621-0dde-4153-89e4-172e4c095d01@xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Please try this patch, which should allow the platform to boot, bit will
intentionally issue lots of warnings. There is a separate patch posted
recently that removes the useless registration with clkdev.
