It works fine for me (I tried both cases, with and without the external clock). The scheme is as follows: - kirkwood-i2s kirkwood_i2s_dev_probe() calls: priv->extclk = &pdev->dev, "extclk"); - devm_clk_get() calls: clk = clk_get(dev, id); - clk_get() does: if (dev) // this is the case clk = of_clk_get_by_name(dev->of_node, con_id); - of_clk_get_by_name() does: if (name) // this is the case index = of_property_match_string(np, "clock-names", name); Here, if the external clock is declared in the DT, index is >= 0. If there is no externel clock in the DT, index is < 0. clk = of_clk_get(np, index); if (!IS_ERR(clk)) break; else if (name && index >= 0) { pr_err("ERROR: could not get clock %s:%s(%i)\n", np->full_name, name ? name : "", index); return clk; } - If the index is < 0, of_clk_get() immediately returns -EINVAL. So, kirkwood-i2s knows there is no external clock. DONE. - otherwise, if the index is >= 0 (the external clock is declared in the DT), of_clk_get() gets the phandle (of_parse_phandle_with_args()) and gets the clock (of_clk_get_from_provider()). This last function returns either the clock (device initialized), a -EPROBE_DEFER error (clock not yet initialized) or some other error (bad DT or clock error). So, kirkwood-i2s knows there is a declared external clock and it acts according to the return code (accept, defer or ignore). DONE.
