Re: BUG: [PATCH v2] isoc: mediatek: Check for error clk pointer

I guess this breaks all MT7622 SoCs since it'll prematurely exit
init_clks (and subsequently init_scp) completely once devm_clk_get
fails to get a reference to the mm clock producer (which happens to be
the first one tried). This is because MT7623 has a GPU (so no mm
clock) and MT7622 doesn't, and as a result the other clock producer
pointers never get initialized (and other stuff in init_scp after
returning from the error never happens).

The patch seems fundamentally flawed, I guess it was either not tested
at all, or only tested on a MT7623. The initialization functions seem
designed with the idea that it's ok if some clocks aren't present, so
stopping the initialization when one of them isn't present seems
wrong. (For example, there is also a MT7622B variant of the MT7622
which probably also lacks some clocks MT7622(A) does have).
