Thanks for than Dan,

Arguably that seems like an incorrect behaviour on the part of the clock
subsystem given that the 'proper' function has kernel doc:

* Returns a struct clk corresponding to the clock producer, or
* valid IS_ERR() condition containing errno.

Therefore the 'empty' version should adhere to the same rules, and not
return NULL.

I've cc'd Mike Turquette as well for his thoughts.
