I referred macb driver http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c 
There tx_clk is optional and in this driver they are calling clk_prepare_enable for the optional clocks.
Please let me know if you are ok to call the clk_prepare_enable() for optional clocks with a NULL pointer.
Will fix rest of the comments and will send next version of the patch...

Kedar.
