If both 'clk_ipg' and 'clk_per' are NULL, we return an un-init value.
So set 'err' to 0, to return success in such a case.
Thanks for the patch, a similar one has been posted before:

Another way to fix it is to remove the NULL checks for 'clk_ipg' and
'clk_per' that been added in commit d9cead75b1c6.

They look useless to me because 'clk_prepare_enable()' returns 0 if it is
passed a NULL pointer.
ACK, while the common clock framework's clk_prepare_enable() can handle
NULL pointers, the clock framework used on the mcf5441x doesn't.
Huh?  It looks like it just uses the regular stuff?

Except that the non-CCF implementation of clk_enable() in
arch/m68k/coldfire/clk.c still returns -EINVAL instead of NULL.
Any plans to move to CCF? Or at least fix legacy clk_enable().

as Geert pointed out, right now without this protection
(that shouldn't anyway harm), probe fails:

[    1.680000] flexcan: probe of flexcan.0 failed with error -22
Maybe it's time to fix the mcf5441x's clk_enable() as Geert pointed out.

regards,
Marc
