If a clock is registered by a platform driver and not by the OF_CLK_DECLARE() mechanism, it might show up after the first attempt to probe i2c-mv64xxx. In order to solve this, we need to handle -EPROBE_PREFER as a special return value of devm_clk_get(), and return the same error code from probe(). This gives us three situations: - There is no reference to a clock in the DT. In this case, devm_clk_get() returns an error that is not -EPROBE_DEFER (something like -ENODEV), and we continue the probing without enabling the clock. - There is a reference to the clock in the DT, and the clock is ready. devm_clk_get() returns a valid reference to the clock, and we prepare/enable it. - There is a reference to the clock in the DT, but the clock is not ready. devm_clk_get() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, and we exit from probe() with the same error code so that probe() is tried again later. This is needed for Marvell Armada 7K/8K, where the clock driver is a platform driver.
