[PATCH v2 0/2] Add functions to get optional clocks

[Phil Edworthy]

Quite a few drivers get an optional clock, e.g. a clock required
to access peripheral's registers that is always enabled on some
devices.

[PATCH v2 1/2] clk: Add of_clk_get_by_name_optional() function

[Phil Edworthy]

Quite a few drivers get an optional clock, e.g. a clock required
to access peripheral's registers that is always enabled on some
devices.

This function behaves the same as of_clk_get_by_name() except that
it will return NULL instead of -ENOENT. This makes error checking
for users easier and allows clk_prepare_enable, etc to be called
on the returned reference without additional checks.

[PATCH v2 2/2] clk: Add functions to get optional clocks

[Phil Edworthy]

Behaves the same as (devm_)clk_get except where there is no clock
producer. In this case, instead of returning -ENOENT, the function
returns NULL. This makes error checking simpler and allows
clk_prepare_enable, etc to be called on the returned reference
without additional checks.

This only handles the "name && index >= 0" case.
If that condition is never true, the loop will end, eventually, and the last
value of clk will be returned. Hence there should be a similar check at the
end of the function.

Hence if not found, this will always print an error, even if the clock is
optional?

Shouldn't this return NULL?
Or let __of_clk_get_by_name() handle that (cfr. above)?

Hmm, of_clk_get_by_name() has a similar check, while the current
__of_clk_get_by_name() already handle np == NULL, too.

No dummy version of of_clk_get_by_name_optional() for the !CLK || !COMMON_CLK
case?

It seems of_clk_get_by_name() and of_clk_get_by_name_optional() can just
be simple wrappers around __of_clk_get_by_name(), differing only in the
value of the "optional" parameter. Hence I think it makes sense to move them
to the header file, and make them static inline.
Then only __of_clk_get_by_name() needs a (static inline) dummy for the !OF ||
!COMMON_CLK case.

Oops, I was only considering named optional clocks, I'll fix this.

I wasn?t sure on this, I thought the node should be valid, but I guess the node
is also optional. I'll fix.

Yes I see, I'll clean that up.
