This is tempting from a diffstat point of view, but the downside is that
we can now no longer validate that all of the necessary clocks are given
in device tree.

Previously the driver would fail to probe the I2C controller if any of
the expected clocks were not defined in device tree, but now it's just
going to continue without it and not give any indication as to what's
wrong.
