But driver isn't comparing return value of clk_get with NULL (that would have
been wrong) or interpreting its return value in a wrong way.

Instead it is using the same pointer/variable to check if clk_* APIs are
supported or not by making it NULL. And that's a driver convention.
I still believe it is fine.

Thanks for your quick comments.
