That would get rid of the arch patches.
Given that clk_get_optional will be that simple, it can live in linux/clk.h for all implementors of the clk API, then you don't have to care about different archs. (Unless I'm missing something.)
I don't think it's a good idea to drop clk_get_optional even if you'd have to provide arch-specific stuff.
