Writing to the built-in strings arrays doesn't work if driver is loaded as kernel module. This is also considered as a bad pattern. Fix this by adding a call to clk_get() with legacy clock name. This fixes following kernel oops if driver is loaded as module: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bf047978 pgd = (ptrval) [bf047978] *pgd=59344811, *pte=5903c6df, *ppte=5903c65f Internal error: Oops: 80f [#1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: mc exynosdrm(+) analogix_dp rtc_s3c exynos_ppmu i2c_gpio CPU: 1 PID: 212 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.6.0-rc2-next-20200219 #326 videodev: Linux video capture interface: v2.00 Hardware name: Samsung Exynos (Flattened Device Tree) PC is at exynos_dsi_probe+0x1f0/0x384 [exynosdrm] LR is at exynos_dsi_probe+0x1dc/0x384 [exynosdrm] ...
