Given that clk_get_optional will be that simple, it can live in
linux/clk.h for all implementors of the clk API, then you don't have to
care about different archs. (Unless I'm missing something.)

I don't think it's a good idea to drop clk_get_optional even if you'd
have to provide arch-specific stuff.

Best regards
Uwe
