It was at:

It doesn't matter much, but if it were me I'd add this under the "if
(core->ops->get_phase)" statement. Then we don't keep doing a memory
write of 0 to "core->phase" all the time when "core->ops->get_phase"
isn't there. ...plus (to me) it makes more logical sense.

I'd guess you were trying to make sure that core->phase got set to 0
like the old code did in __clk_core_init(). ...but that really
shouldn't be needed since the clk_core is initted with kzalloc().

Probably the first of these two should be clk_prepare_lock() unless
you really really wanted the clock to be unlocked.

Don't you need a clk_prepare_lock() / clk_prepare_unlock() around this now?

Maybe update the comment to something like "clk_core_get_phase() will
cache the phase for us".
