Both of these are fairly unusual. The most common way to write it is if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR(dwmac->m25_div_clk))) return PTR_ERR(dwmac->m25_div_clk); return 0; However, I now tend to prefer ret = PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(dwmac->m25_div_clk); WARN_ON(ret); return ret; which is less likely to cause false-positive warnings when building with -Wmaybe-uninitialized than any of the other ones. Please don't use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() as a condition, that is what IS_ERR() is meant for.
