This is a nice cleanup patch... But the subject might be a bit
misleading as it says "Fix". So I would expect a Fixes tag which
I'm not sure it's really worth it here. Yes, the code was pretty much
doing clk_get_optional() "by hand" but I think it was still functional.
So to me, this is more an improvement rather than a fix...

Anyways,
