Firstly, for clk_get(), you don't need to do anything - clk_get() already
deals with DT, and if your DT is correct, it should already be returning
the appropriate clock(s).

I guess the problem here is clk_get_sys(), because that doesn't take a
struct device (and it doesn't take a struct device because it's used
from code where there is no struct device to use with it.)

If you have an OF node, what's wrong with using of_clk_get_by_name()?
If you don't have an OF node, how do you expect to find the clock in
the device tree, remembering that clocks are specific to devices, and
the 2nd argument to clk_get()/clk_get_sys() is not a unique identifier.
