The above block is good for optional clock.
Otherwise, there will be 2 checks for optional clk.
One here:
if (pfdev->bus_clock) {
rate = clk_get_rate(pfdev->bus_clock);
dev_info(pfdev->base.dev, "bus_clock rate = %lu\n", rate);
}
and one inside the clk_prepare_enable():
err = clk_prepare_enable(pfdev->bus_clock);
Please let me know your thoughts.
