It looks like there is a whitespace issue here?

Is the clock optional or mandatory?

If mandatory, then i would prefer -ENODEV and fail the probe.

and here return -EINVAL.

I always think it is best to make it obvious something is broken. One
additional line on the console can be missed for a while. All the
Ethernet devices missing because the PHYs are missing, because the
MDIO bus is missing is going to get noticed very quickly.
