Right, that looks good.

The problem with the binding is that once you've established it, it
is very hard to change. One possible solution would be to try
'of_clk_get(dev->of_node, 0)' in the driver first, and only then
call clk_get(dev, "rtc"). Doing that, you can have an anonymous clock
in the DT without waiting for the clock driver to get merged first
or breaking the existing setup.
