I can't pretend understanding the clk framework in depth, but the only
case where -ENOENT is returned seems to be this block in clk_hw_create_clk()

	if (!try_module_get(core->owner)) {
		free_clk(clk);
		return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);
	}

I have no idea why this would be converted to a -EPROBE_DEFER. May to
account for module loading?
