I'd have looked the some of the users before checking the code as
well. As I said passing NULL clk_id to devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk =>
__devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk would return before processing the clock.

Here is the code snippet on the tree just to make sure I'm on the same
page or not.

static struct regmap_mmio_context *regmap_mmio_gen_context(struct device *dev,
                                        const char *clk_id,
                                        void __iomem *regs,
                                        const struct regmap_config *config)
{
        -----------------------
        --------------
        if (clk_id == NULL)
                return ctx;

        ctx->clk = clk_get(dev, clk_id);
        if (IS_ERR(ctx->clk)) {
                ret = PTR_ERR(ctx->clk);
                goto err_free;
        }

        ret = clk_prepare(ctx->clk);
        if (ret < 0) {
                clk_put(ctx->clk);
                goto err_free;
        }
        -------------
        ---------------
}

Yes, I did check on the driver in the tree before committing explicit
clock handle, which make similar requirements like us in [1]. this
imx2 wdt driver is handling the explicit clock as well. I'm sure this
driver is updated as I have seen few changes related to this driver in
ML.

Let me know if I still miss any key change or note here, I will dig
further on this for sure.
