From: Marco Felsch <m.felsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a18caa97b1bda0a3d126a7be165ddcfc56c2dde6 ] Commit bedd8d78aba3 ("net: phy: smsc: LAN8710/20: add phy refclk in support") added the phy clk support. The commit already checks if clk_get_optional() throw an error but instead of returning the error it ignores it.
