What I actually meant is using compatible="exynos-adc-v2.1" or similar
rather than "exynos3250-adc". However, as you already explained, the
version numbers are apparently just made up, so using "exynos3250-adc"
is actually better here. If a future exynos7890 uses the same clocks
as exynos3250, it can simply use the same "exynos3250-adc" string here.

Yes, your current version is certainly better than this, but another way
to address Tomasz' comment would be to change the binding to list the "sclk"
as optional for any device and make the code silently ignore missing sclk
entries, like:
info->sclk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "sclk");
if (IS_ERR(info->sclk)) {
switch (PTR_ERR(info->sclk)) {
case -EPROBE_DEFER:
/* silently return error so we can retry */
return -EPROBE_DEFER:
case -ENOENT:
/* silently ignore missing optional clk */
info->sclk = NULL;
break;
default:
/* any other error: clk is defined by doesn't work */
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed getting sclk clock, err = %ld\n",
PTR_ERR(info->sclk));
return PTR_ERR(info->sclk));
}
}
One more comment about the name: Both in the code you use "sclk" as the
name, so presumably that is the actual name of the clk as known to this
driver, and it makes sense to use clock-names="sclk" as well, if you want
to have any name.
