NULL is a valid clk. That should keep working and not be overriden with
an error pointer. If you want to return an error pointer either fill it
in with an error pointer or write your own version of this.

And this one is the same. We let NULL be returned so that it can be
returned as a NULL pointer to the caller if desired. That indicates a
clk that does nothing when used.
