[RFC PATCH] ASoC: pxa: Use devm_clk_get_optional() for extclk clock

From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui at gmail.com>

The Device Tree binding defines the extclk clock as an optional
property, but the driver currently uses devm_clk_get() and manually
handles the absence of the clock.

Use devm_clk_get_optional() to match the binding and simplify the
optional clock handling. This also propagates errors other than the
absence of the optional clock, including -EPROBE_DEFER.

This changes the existing behavior for errors other than
-EPROBE_DEFER. RFC to discuss whether these errors should cause probe
to fail rather than being treated as an unavailable optional clock.

Fixes: 90eb6b59d311 ("ASoC: pxa-ssp: add support for an external clock in devicetree")
