The return value for clk_get() by almost all users is checked for
specifically with IS_ERR() rather than an IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), so you're
going to want to change your of_clk_get() error paths to return
ERR_PTR()'s directly, or wrap it up like clk_get_sys() does.

Given that there are multiple reasons why of_clk_get() can fail however,
it's probably worth handing down the actual error rather than simply
chomping it in to an -ENOENT.
