OK, this breaks with SCMI which doesn't provide clocks but manage OPPs
directly. Before this change clk_get(dev..) was allowed to fail and
--EPROBE_DEFER was not an error. We use dev_pm_opp_add to add OPPs
read from the firmware and this change is preventing that.

Sorry for checking this so late, but noticed only when this hit mainline.
