I don't have that patch in my inbox. It looks to be doing things
backwards (look up the deprecated name first). I think it should be:

	clk = devm_clk_get(dev, id);
	if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
		char clk_name[32];

		snprintf(clk_name, sizeof(clk_name), "%s_clk", id);
		clk = devm_clk_get(dev, clk_name);
		if (IS_ERR(clk))
			return clk;
	}

Also note how I've dropped the ERR_CAST(), that's not useful here
because you aren't actually casting, but simply returning clk.
