Oh really. I was sure I already made use of it. Probably consfused it
with the gpio or regulator API which have such variants. (But be aware,
they are sematically different. If you look for a place to copy from
please stick to the gpio sematic.)
Then either send a patch creating clk_get_optional and friends, or only
ignore -ENODEV but propagate the other error values. (Maybe the most
rational path is to do both and switch the driver once clk_get_optional
is available.)
Best regards
Uwe
