The dm9000 doesn't have anything called SROM in it. You have to
describe the clock input pin of the dm9000 here, not the pin of
your SoC where the clock is coming out.

This must be documented in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/davicom-dm9000.txt.

There's devm_clk_get_optional() which you should use here.

the "name" passed to devm_clk_get_optional() should match the name of
the clock, you must specify it according to the dm9000 datasheet. It
makes no sense to read the name from the device tree, instead pick a
name which you expect to be there.
