If people are going to continue doing this (converting error values to
NULL) can we please have a check in devm_clk_get() which prevents it
returning NULL if the implementation happens to do so?

It's either that or we force all users to conform to the API which
specifies that the error values are defined by IS_ERR() returning
true and everything else must be considered as a potential valid return.
