Is this needed? As you said, there are no clocks when ACPI is used, So
doesn't clk_get() return -ENODEV? Since this is not EPRODE_DEFER, it
keeps going. The clk_prepare_enable() won't be called.

I think this can also be removed for the same reason.

We should try to avoid adding has_acpi_companion() and
!pdev->dev.of_node whenever we can. It makes the driver code too much
of a maze.
