	chip->clk = devm_clk_get(chip->dev, "hclk");
	if (IS_ERR(chip->clk) && PTR_ERR(chip->clk) != -ENOENT)
		return PTR_ERR(chip->clk);

You can then test for the presence of a clk via IS_ERR(chip->clk).

I'm just debating whether we should add a clk_is_valid() inline function
to linux/clk.h to avoid these shouting tests, and make it easier for
people test this in a generic manner.
