When the clk API is disabled, the expected behaviour is that drivers will not fail. Returning ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) will cause them to fail, so will break platforms.

So the driver needs to depend on HAVE_CLOCK. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
