[PATCH] clocksource/drivers/fsl_ftm_timer: fix error return checking

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The error checks on freq for a negative error return always fails because
freq is unsigned and can never be negative. Fix this by making freq a
signed long.

Detected with Coccinelle:
drivers/clocksource/fsl_ftm_timer.c:287:5-9: WARNING: Unsigned expression
compared with zero: freq <= 0
drivers/clocksource/fsl_ftm_timer.c:291:5-9: WARNING: Unsigned expression
compared with zero: freq <= 0

Fixes: 2529c3a33079 ("clocksource: Add Freescale FlexTimer Module (FTM) timer support")
