Sorry for late reply.
There are two paths in clk_get:
a) dev is not NULL, the calling procedure is as following
clk_get(dev, con_id)
--->of_clk_get_by_name(dev->of_node, con_id)

b) dev is NULL, the calling procedure is as following
clk_dev(NULL, con_id)
--->clk_get_sys(NULL, con_id)
    --->clk_find(NULL, con_id)

I just cann't understand why you say the first argument shouldn't
be NULL. Is there other consideration in CCF?
