Currently, clk_get(dev, NULL) returns -ENOENT on missing clock, but clk_get(dev, "missing-named-clock") returns -EINVAL. This went by unnoticed so far as most consumers either require a clock or don't, but with the addition of clk_get_optional, it's important that clk_get() return value is uniform. Therefore align clk_get with Linux and always fall through to clk_get_sys() if getting clock over DT is not possible. Failing clk_get_sys() returns -ENOENT always, ensuring we can't end up with -EINVAL as before while keeping of_clk_get_by_name return value as it is under Linux.
