+struct clk *devm_of_clk_get(struct device *dev,

Because of_clk_get() can parse "clocks", "#clock-cells" on DT.
clk_get() should also work just fine. clk_get() uses __of_clk_get_by_name() internally, which uses "clock-names" to locate the index if a connection id is given. of_clk_get() allows lookup of a clock by index only, omitting the name, which means you need to coordinate the order of clocks in DT with the order that the driver wants... which sounds error prone to me.
