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.

Did I miss something?
