According to this thread: https://lists.gt.net/linux/kernel/2102623 we should stick to the clk API and use IS_ERR() rather than IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), but shouldn't be blindly accepting the result of clk_get_rate() (or I suppose clk_round_rate()), but rather checking for the value 0 and handling that case as "we don't have a usable clock from the clk api, fall back to something else".
