No, because I assumed !rate means we failed to get the clock.
Actually, clk_get_rate could return 0, so relying on rate value is not safe.

I propose to get clock-frequency property if IS_ERR(clk).

Is it fine for you?

To handle the case were no clock was found, but a clk-frequency value
was provided.

Right, thanks for spotting this.

I wonder if it makes sense to implement the error path.
If we fail to initialize the clocksource, the system will be unusable.

Maybe I should just perform a BUG_ON() in the error cases, as most of
the other clocksource drivers do.
What is your view?

Maxime
