Hmm, the common clock framwork is just one implementation of the clock
API that won't use NULL as a valid clock handle. HAVE_CLK=n is just
another implementation that does return NULL as a valid value, and
accepts that value in the other clk functions.

Interesting.

Following Russel's past advise[1], the following patch on top of Heiko's
patch also fixes things for me on Octeon:

If thats an acceptable fix I'll post it properly. Thoughts?
