Looks much better, but wanted to see what was done in the commit
referenced in the Fixes: tag.

So that patch wanted to propagate the result of
devm_clk_get_optional_enabled() call in brcmf_of_probe():of.c to retry
later. It ends up in brcmf_sdio_probe_attach() which is called in
brcmf_sdio_probe(). Anyway, it seems okay to me. Will give it a spin in
my setup just to be sure.
Thanks,
