I can understand your reasoning but again this is something that I never really saw being enforced. So, I'm more than ok to change it if it really becomes something that we will try to "enforce" in IIO.

Correct me if Im missing something. AFAIU, the idea is to use 'device_for_each_child_node()' which returns a fwnode_handle. That means, that we will have to pass that to this function and use 'to_of_node()' to pass a device_node to 'devm_get_clk_from_child()'. This means, we need of.h for 'to_of_node()'... - Nuno Sá
