Hi Doug,
  I reviewed the code while hunting behind an other bug, with hs400
and yes I saw the comment that they don't care about the problem
if the clk_get() return an error, and set the rk_phy->emmcclk = NULL
regardless, not using the ret variable but define it isn't useful.

If return a error code break something on the other hand, better it
hit it rather then suppress it in IMHO.

Let me follow the caller of the function and see how they treat the
err != 0.

If something is in danger, I will be effected with my rk3399 rollout :)
