I suppose this is done to keep the compatibility with existing pxa3xx/berlin
clock code, which was defined without a con_id. More specifically I'm thinking
of the function clk_find().

Now maybe it would be cleaner to keep you "nfc" change, remove the failback plan
with NULL as an con_id, and change the clock providers. I cannot speak for
berlin/others, but for pxa3xx, this is one 3 hunks change in :
 - drivers/clk/pxa/clk-pxa3xx.c

Cheers.
