[PATCH] mtd: nand: mxc_nand: use clk_get_optional for clock handling

[Alexander Shiyan]

On some platforms like i.MX51, the clock driver does not support GATE clocks,
and the clocks are always on. The current driver uses clk_get which fails
when the clock is not found, preventing the driver from probing.

This patch changes clk_get to clk_get_optional, allowing the driver to
continue probing even if the clock is not provided, assuming it is always
enabled.
