When the default clocks cannot be set, the clock is silently probed and
the error is ignored. This is incorrect, since having the clocks at the
correct speed may be important for operation of the system.

Fix it by checking the return code.

So which should we do? My feeling is that a failure that is
programmatically silent could cause things to fail, but is there a
reason why this might be wrong but everything is still OK?

I think both are fine. I think this is definitely a situation where we
should complain loudly so that when things break there is some relevant
output.
