Indeed, I'll double check if it works and will keep the if {} else {} intact.

Yes, this would be a nice improvement, however the
devm_get_clk_optional requires clock name (type char *) - mvmdio uses
raw indexes, so this helper unfortunately seems to be not applicable.

Clock routines silently accept NULL pointers, so it will be safe to
drop this addition in v2.
