This is the only check and no need to print rate for optional clk. That is the reason I have not
touched this.
if (pfdev->bus_clock) {
rate = clk_get_rate(pfdev->bus_clock);
dev_info(pfdev->base.dev, "bus_clock rate = %lu\n", rate);
err = clk_prepare_enable(pfdev->bus_clock);
if (err)
goto disable_clock;
}
