+ /* Clock is optional on most platforms */ + priv->clk = devm_clk_get(dev, NULL); + if (IS_ERR(priv->clk)) + priv->clk = NULL;at least in case of EPROBE_DEFERED this isn't the expected behavior. Maybe we should better trigger on non-existing clock?Good point, so more like: if (IS_ERR(priv->clk) && PTR_ERR(priv->clk) == -ENODEV)?
Unfortunately we need to return the error in all other cases. Please take a look at devm_usb_get_phy in dwc2 [1]. AFAIK we don't need to take care of ENXIO in our case.
A few subsystems have a get_optional() call, e.g.
devm_phy_optional_get(). It does not return an error when the phy is
not supposed to exist, but in all other cases, it does.
Maybe consider adding devm_clk_get_optional()?
