Thanks for patching this file and bringing this code to my attention.
The original is fscked.  Calling __clk_get() outside of any lock is
a serious bug and leads to races.

Also, a failing __clk_get() probably should not drop through to
clk_get_sys(), but should instead do this:

		if (!IS_ERR(clk)) {
			if (!__clk_get(clk))
				clk = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);
			return clk;
		}

since a _found_ clock but one which can't be used (due to the module
going away) is not a reason to drop through to clk_get_sys().

Which means your change should look like this:

		if (!IS_ERR(clk)) {
			if (!__clk_get(clk))
				clk = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);
			return clk;
		}
		if (PTR_ERR(clk) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
			return clk;
