[PATCH 0/9] make clk_get_rate implementations behavior more consistent

[Jonas Gorski <jonas.gorski@gmail.com>]

The common clock and several other clock API implementations allow
calling clk_get_rate with a NULL pointer. While not specified as
expected behavior of the API, device drivers have come to rely on that,
causing them to OOPS when run on a platform with a different clock API
implementation.

Fix this by making sure all clk_get_rate implementations handle
NULL clocks instead of OOPSing.

While some custom implementations even allow ERR_PTR()s, I decided
against that as IIRC the usual idea is that errors should be handled and
not silently carried over.
