Hmm, I don't remember which was the failure I saw that lead me to create
this patch. Probably I wanted to see EPROBE_DEFER.

Looking into the tree of functions that can be called from
of_clk_get_by_name I didn't find a function that returns ENODEV.

But consider a clock provider that tries to give you the clock and
triggers a EIO or ETIMEOUT. IMHO this should be given to the caller
instead of continuing with clk_get_sys. So I suggest

-		if (!IS_ERR(clk) || PTR_ERR(clk) != -ENODEV)
+		if (!IS_ERR(clk) || PTR_ERR(clk) != -ENOENT)

instead of your patch.

Best regards
Uwe
