No, because if the clock is not present in the Device Tree,
priv->axi_clk will contain an error code encoded as a pointer, so
priv->axi_clk will not be NULL. Hence the rest of the code that will
operate on this clock will believe there is a valid clock pointed by
priv->axi_clk. So we really want to reset it to NULL when there was an
error getting the clock.
Best regards,
Thomas
