"hsi2c_pclk" clock is optional and may not be present for some SoCs supported by this driver. Nevertheless, in case the clock is provided but some error happens during its getting, that error should be handled properly. Use devm_clk_get_optional() API for that. Also report possible errors using dev_err_probe() to handle properly -EPROBE_DEFER error (if clock provider is not ready by the time I2C probe function is executed).
