Originally, I only thought about returning -ENOSYS from stubs,
but that won't work because the function would then fail.
I didn't think of returning NULL instead though..

But returning NULL from the stubs won't work for the hunk
at the bottom (the one guarded by if (regmap_sfr)).
That would cause NULL 'holes' in the array and of_clk_get_from_provider,
which normally never returns NULL could start returning NULL then.

I don't want to audit whether that's ok, so I prefer the route of just
removing the audio/i2s stuff...

Indeed, thanks for spotting that and sorry for the late answer.
I haven't had time to look at this since then.
