When BAM is remotely controlled it does not sound correct to control
its clk on Linux side. Make it optional, so that its not madatory

s/madatory/mandatory

Yep,
for remote controlled BAM instances.

but you still do clk_get unconditionally?

Only reason to do this way is to not break existing users in the mainline.

remotely controlled BAM is already supported in upstream driver, there are users of this who pass clk from device tree, If I make this conditional then subsequent reads to the BAM registers for those instances might crash the system.

This sounds wrong to control clk from linux for the dma controller which is remotely controlled. These users should be transitioned to new bindings once the new bindings endup in the mainline.

-		return PTR_ERR(bdev->bamclk);
-
-	ret = clk_prepare_enable(bdev->bamclk);
-	if (ret) {
-		dev_err(bdev->dev, "failed to prepare/enable clock\n");
-		return ret;
+	if (IS_ERR(bdev->bamclk)) {
+		bdev->bamclk = NULL;
+	} else {
+		ret = clk_prepare_enable(bdev->bamclk);
+		if (ret) {
+			dev_err(bdev->dev, "failed to prepare/enable clock\n");
+			return ret;
+		}

wouldn't it be better to set that an instance is remote controlled and thus
not at all visible to Linux?

We already have a flag "controlled_remotely" for that in the driver.
