This patch assumes that the information on mclk comes from DeviceTree. The mclk may also be enabled/disabled in the machine driver with an explicit transition to use an internal clock when the codec is not used. I hope this patch doesn't preclude such usages or there will be a conflict with the patches we are about to upstream for Baytrail/cht devices.
As you can see, the clock property itself is optional and the clk_get below acts accordingly of also continuing if the clock is not present. So it won't affect any users doing it otherwise.
That said we really do need x86 to transition to use the clock API in order to integrate with external devices, where the machine driver does manage clocks we want that to move to being done using the clock API rather than custom APIs.
