Hi Mark,

Sorry. I don't get why deferred probe would be broken by this.
And I just took a test by adding this:

And it still works for me with a deferred probe:

Hi Fabio,

Thank you for the hint.

But actually, unlike sgtl5000, this patch doesn't error out for
IS_ERR(mclk) case.

There might be a machine driver that has already got and enabled
the clock while getting the clock from other way or other DT node
rather than WM8962's.

Thank you.
