This only handles the "name && index >= 0" case.
If that condition is never true, the loop will end, eventually, and the last
value of clk will be returned. Hence there should be a similar check at the
end of the function.

Hence if not found, this will always print an error, even if the clock is
optional?

Shouldn't this return NULL?
Or let __of_clk_get_by_name() handle that (cfr. above)?
Hmm, of_clk_get_by_name() has a similar check, while the current
__of_clk_get_by_name() already handle np == NULL, too.

No dummy version of of_clk_get_by_name_optional() for the !CLK || !COMMON_CLK
case?
It seems of_clk_get_by_name() and of_clk_get_by_name_optional() can just
be simple wrappers around __of_clk_get_by_name(), differing only in the
value of the "optional" parameter. Hence I think it makes sense to move them
to the header file, and make them static inline.
Then only __of_clk_get_by_name() needs a (static inline) dummy for the !OF ||
!COMMON_CLK case.
