I don't think it will work that way.

clk_get with NULL argument will likely grab the first clock of the list
independent of clock-names being present.

It might be better to do something like [pseudo-code]:

pwm->pclk = clk_get( ..., "pclk");
if (IS_ERR(pwm->pclk))
	pwm->pclk = NULL;

pwm->pwm_clk = clk_get(..., "pwm");
if (IS_ERR(pwm->pwm_clk))
	pwm->pwm_clk = clk_get(..., NULL);
if (IS_ERR(pwm->pwm_clk))
	return PTR_ERR(pwm->pwm_clk);

That way, you make your way backwards through the pwm-binding-history.
Ending at the single-clock without clock-names property as the last fallback.
